Python - 如何计算自X日期以来经过的时间？

Question

I have a database table with articles and each one of this articles have a submitted date. I need to calculate the days and hours since the article have been published in the database, like:

This article has been published 4 hours ago.
This article has been published 3 days and 4 hours ago.

There are already some code that I can reuse to do this? I've searched on google, but maybe I'm not using the correct words.

Any clue that could help me?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

Have a look at the datetime package , it has everything you need.

when you subtract one datetime from another, you get a timedelta object. You can use total_seconds() to get the duration in seconds and use division to convert it to hours and days. Then your only job then is to format it into a readable string.

我将提交的日期转换为datetime ，然后使用类似https://gist.github.com/207624的内容将datetime时间转换为人性化字符串。
