Python Pendulum Comparison
COmparison
Simple comparison is offered up via the basic operators. Remember that the comparison is made in the UTC timezone so things aren't always as they seem.
#CODE
import pendulum
>>> first = pendulum.datetime(2012, 9, 5, 23, 26, 11, 0, tz='America/Toronto')
>>> second = pendulum.datetime(2012, 9, 5, 20, 26, 11, 0, tz='America/Vancouver')
>>> first.to_datetime_string()
'2012-09-05 23:26:11'
>>> first.timezone_name
'America/Toronto'
>>> second.to_datetime_string()
'2012-09-05 20:26:11'
>>> second.timezone_name
'America/Vancouver'
>>> first == second #by comparing
True
>>> first != second
False
>>> first > second
False
>>> first >= second
True
>>> first < second
False
>>> first <= second
True
>>> first = first.on(2012, 1, 1).at(0, 0, 0)
>>> second = second.on(2012, 1, 1).at(0, 0, 0)
# tz is still America/Vancouver for second
>>> first == second
False
>>> first != second
True
>>> first > second
False
>>> first >= second
False
>>> first < second
True
>>> first <= second
True
