These methods generally solve many problems. But is has more detail. Now let's use the above methods. I will describe a list by number.

Example

• Time Create

You have time zone control. Do not parameterize the method almost does the same operation. (create | now)

pendulum.create()
# <Pendulum [2018-02-19T00:00:00+00:00]>

pendulum.now()
# <Pendulum [2018-02-19T23:42:15.660781+03:00]>

pendulum.create(2015, 1, 31, 0)
#<Pendulum [2015-01-31T00:00:00+00:00]>

pendulum.create(2015, 3, 2, tz='America/Toronto')
#<Pendulum [2015-03-02T00:00:00-05:00]>

• Tomorrow and today control

date = pendulum.now()
#<Pendulum [2018-02-19T23:43:35.998675+03:00]>

date.tomorrow()
#<Pendulum [2018-02-20T00:00:00+03:00]>

date.yesterday()
#<Pendulum [2018-02-18T00:00:00+03:00]>

date.tomorrow('Europe/London')
#<Pendulum [2018-02-20T00:00:00+00:00]>

• Time difference and text in date

date = pendulum.now()
#<Pendulum [2018-02-19T23:52:46.187968+03:00]>

date.to_datetime_string()
#'2018-02-19 23:52:46'

date.add(hours=-1)
#<Pendulum [2018-02-19T22:52:46.187968+03:00]>

date.add(days=1)
#<Pendulum [2018-02-20T23:52:46.187968+03:00]>

I think it's a simple and useful library to use. I am currently using this library in my new project. I had a lot of problems with time. This package made me speed up. I want to write in this regard.

If you have a question that you are wondering, you can ask me.
