 20  Basic date and time types. Implements a subset of the `CPython datetime module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html>`_.
 21  
 22  NOTE: This library has a large memory footprint and is intended for hardware such as the SAMD51, ESP32-S2, and nRF52.
 23  
 24  Dependencies
 25  =============
 26  This driver depends on:
 27  
 28  * `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
 29  
 30  Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
 31  This is easily achieved by downloading
 32  `the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
 33  
 34  Installing from PyPI
 35  =====================
 36  On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
 37  PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-datetime/>`_. To install for current user:
 38  
 39  .. code-block:: shell
 40  
 41      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
 42  
 43  To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
 44  
 45  .. code-block:: shell
 46  
 47      sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
 48  
 49  To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
 50  
 51  .. code-block:: shell
 52  
 53      mkdir project-name && cd project-name
 54      python3 -m venv .env
 55      source .env/bin/activate
 56      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
 57  
 58  Usage Example
 59  =============
 60  
 61  .. code-block:: python
 62  
 63      # Example of working with a `datetime` object
 64      # from https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#examples-of-usage-datetime
 65      from adafruit_datetime import datetime, date, time, timezone
 66  
 67      # Using datetime.combine()
 68      d = date(2005, 7, 14)
 69      print(d)
 70      t = time(12, 30)
 71      print(datetime.combine(d, t))
 72  
 73      # Using datetime.now()
 74      print("Current time (GMT +1):", datetime.now())
 75      print("Current UTC time: ", datetime.now(timezone.utc))
 76  
 77      # Using datetime.timetuple() to get tuple of all attributes
 78      dt = datetime(2006, 11, 21, 16, 30)
 79      tt = dt.timetuple()
 80      for it in tt:
 81          print(it)
 82  
 83      # Formatting a datetime
 84      print(
 85          "The {1} is {0:%d}, the {2} is {0:%B}, the {3} is {0:%I:%M%p}.".format(
 86              dt, "day", "month", "time"
 87          )
 88      )
