arrow v0.16.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-08-23 // over 3 years ago
    • ⬇️ [WARN] Arrow will drop support for Python 2.7 and 3.5 in the 1.0.0 release in late September. The 0.16.x and 0.17.x releases are the last to support Python 2.7 and 3.5.
    • [NEW] Implemented PEP 495 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0495/>_ to handle ambiguous datetimes. This is achieved by the addition of the fold attribute for Arrow objects. For example:

    .. code-block:: python

    >>> before = Arrow(2017, 10, 29, 2, 0, tzinfo='Europe/Stockholm')
<Arrow [2017-10-29T02:00:00+02:00]>
>>> before.fold
0
>>> before.ambiguous
True
>>> after = Arrow(2017, 10, 29, 2, 0, tzinfo='Europe/Stockholm', fold=1)
<Arrow [2017-10-29T02:00:00+01:00]>
>>> after = before.replace(fold=1)
<Arrow [2017-10-29T02:00:00+01:00]>
    • 📜 [NEW] Added normalize_whitespace flag to arrow.get. This is useful for parsing log files and/or any files that may contain inconsistent spacing. For example:

    .. code-block:: python

    >>> arrow.get("Jun 1 2005     1:33PM", "MMM D YYYY H:mmA", normalize_whitespace=True)
<Arrow [2005-06-01T13:33:00+00:00]>
>>> arrow.get("2013-036 \t  04:05:06Z", normalize_whitespace=True)
<Arrow [2013-02-05T04:05:06+00:00]>
