DateTime Objects

Various date and time objects are supplied by the datetime module. Before using any of these functions, the header file datetime.h must be included in your source (note that this is not included by Python.h), and the macro :cmacro:`PyDateTime_IMPORT` must be invoked, usually as part of the module initialisation function. The macro puts a pointer to a C structure into a static variable, :cdata:`PyDateTimeAPI`, that is used by the following macros.

Type-check macros:

Macros to create objects:

Macros to extract fields from date objects. The argument must be an instance of :cdata:`PyDateTime_Date`, including subclasses (such as :cdata:`PyDateTime_DateTime`). The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:

Macros to extract fields from datetime objects. The argument must be an instance of :cdata:`PyDateTime_DateTime`, including subclasses. The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:

Macros to extract fields from time objects. The argument must be an instance of :cdata:`PyDateTime_Time`, including subclasses. The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:

Macros for the convenience of modules implementing the DB API:
