business-days

This is a handful of functions that make working with business days easier. In this context, “business days” are Monday thru Friday, excluding certain bank holidays.

Install

pip install business-days

Usage

import business_days

# Simple day manipulation.
two_business_days_ago = business_days.days_to_now(timezone.now(), 2)

# More complex business hour calculations.
# Mon 07:00 -> Mon 18:30 (expected: 8 business hours)
assertEqual(8 * 3600, business_days.business_timediff(
    datetime(2016, 10, 17, 7),
    datetime(2016, 10, 17, 18, 30),
).total_seconds())

See the tests for more examples.

Releasing

Releases are published to PyPI automatically by GitHub Actions:

1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
2. Commit and push to master.
3. Draft a new GitHub Release with a tag matching that version (e.g. v0.1.0).

Publishing the release runs the tests and uploads the build to PyPI — no tokens or manual twine steps needed.
