arahaan / datetime_diff

Extension to the datetime module.

The datetime_diff package provides a useful function for comparing two different datetime objects and returns the time elapsed since.

for example, a datetime object when turned into a string (being 2015-12-03 03:34:57.281000) when compared with a new datetime object (equivalent to the current time) one can determine how many years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds ago the prior datetime object was.

This returns the data as a string readable by humans denoting how much time has passed since the specified prior datetime object.

datetime_diff's Issues

Bug on calcuating elapsed time.

There is currently a bug when an minute, hour, day, month, or even year changes.

I think what is needed to be done is that I need to convert the datetime objects to absolute seconds on every unit and then calculate how much time has passed. And then after that figure out how to convert it all back from seconds. It needs work and someone who knows how to do the conversions I need for this.

builds fail on travis.

@fafhrd91 have any idea why make cov-dev-full fails on travis here but not for aiohttp?

Something makes me think something is not properly setup on here. I been looking into things and build testing similar to how aiohttp is set up.
