pdd's Issues

use of /now argument results in an error

pdd -t /now 01:23:33 --sub

returns

error: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '/now'

feature: command line option -v, --version

feature request: version number, i.e. command line option -v, --version
I plan to provide a PR soon.

How to use the zsh_completion.py script ?

Hi,

I'm trying to update pdd (pdd-git) to V1.6 on the AUR but I'm struggling with the zsh completion.

For ddgr (which I also maintain on the AUR), the _ddgr file for zsh completion is already provided in the archive, but with pdd I have to generate the _pdd file myself during the packaging process by executing the zsh_completion.py, is that right ?

If that's so, I cannot seems to make it work... Here the result I get:
python zsh_completion.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/pdd/src/pdd/auto-completion/zsh/zsh_completion.py", line 121, in <module>
    parser = __import__(PACKAGE).get_parser()
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pdd'

Unfortunately, I'm not good enough with python to find my way out.

Can you help me generating the zsh completion file ?
Thanks in advance !

BTW, thanks for your awesome works :)

[advice] Change shtab

I propose use some library like https://docs.iterative.ai/shtab to generate shell completion. Just

pdd --print-completion XXX

Maybe easier. One hard problem is shtab doesn't support generate shell completion for nargs > 1.
I advise change pdd -d yyyy mmm dd to pdd -d yyyy-mmm-dd to avoid this problem.

Advantage:

• shtab can be an extras_require, which will not import any necessary requirement.
• Share code about completion with many python projects. Like
  • https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/blob/master/setup.cfg#L31-L33
  • https://github.com/inducer/pudb/blob/main/setup.py#L28
  • https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext/blob/master/setup.py#L25
  • https://github.com/wookayin/gpustat/blob/master/setup.py#L114

Disadvantage:

• Break the compatibility

diff default to today

Hi @jarun and thank you for all your delightful tools.

I often find myself looking for the number of days remaining from today to X.

Right now, I can get it as follow:

$ pdd -d 2020 Jul 5 $(date +"%Y %b %d")
0y 2m 26d
87d

But it would be simpler to just type:

$ pdd -d 2020 Jul 5
usage: pdd [-h] [-d yyyy mmm dd [yyyy mmm dd | y m d]] [-t hh:mm:ss [hh:mm:ss | h:m:s]] [--add] [--sub] [--day yyyy mmm dd] [-c hh:mm:ss] [-r command] [-s [resolution]] [-q] [keywords [keywords ...]]
pdd: error: argument -d: expected 6 arguments

Can you make it so that if only 3 arguments are given to pdd -d, the remaining 3 are auto-evaluated to today?

Can it "add" more than two timestamps?

First thanks for this very helpful tool,
i frequently need to determine the differences between two timestamps
and this tool really helps me!

about the --add option, can it work with more than two timestamps ?
e.g

pdd -t 00:01:00 00:02:00 00:03:00 --add

results:

00:03:00
180s
08:11:54
29514s

expected results:

00:06:00
360s

or if there another workflow/approach i will be grateful.

note: my plan is to add dozens of timestamps, not just three. thanks in advance

Customizable time/date diff output

Hi @jarun, thanks a ton for a very useful tool!

As I understand it, pdd (the command line tool) currently only outputs the time difference In the following format:

%02d:%02d:%02d
%ds

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to change that on run time.

Thanks a ton!

pypi invitation

hi, i just realized you invited me on pypi for this project

unfortunately i have to decline it because i have less interest for this project.

python 3.8 problem

Update to python3.8 seems to have broken pdd

$ pdd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pdd", line 29, in <module>

Add MANIFEST.in

This file is needed to include the LICENSE and CHANGELOG files in the PyPI package.

Availability on PyPI

Hey,

Would it be possible to have pdd on PyPi?

Use ISO 8601 format [YYYY MM DD] in dates

Though it's well documented, the utility should follow standards.

This would be done just before the next release so users of the current release are not confused.

Windows support may be limited

FYI:

new pypi release

Hi, is there any work needed to publish a new pypi release? (I'm running into the shutil.copy issue in setup.py from an outdated release)

btw, this project looks awesome
