Time2Time

This is a utility tool for converting time formats.

In Python, conversion between different time formats has always been a nuisance.

To tackle this issue, we've developed several conversion functions that allow seamless conversion between datetime, struct_time, timestamp, and time strings.

Below is the relationship diagram of these functions:

If you're curious about how the above diagram was created, you can refer to the Mermaid code below:

graph TD
    timestamp(timestamp)
    struct_time(struct_time)
    datetime(datetime)
    str(Time String)

    timestamp -->|timestamp2datetime| datetime
    timestamp -->|timestamp2time| struct_time
    timestamp -->|timestamp2str| str

    struct_time -->|time2datetime| datetime
    struct_time -->|time2timestamp| timestamp
    struct_time -->|time2str| str

    datetime -->|datetime2time| struct_time
    datetime -->|datetime2timestamp| timestamp
    datetime -->|datetime2str| str

    str -->|str2time| struct_time
    str -->|str2datetime| datetime
    str -->|str2timestamp| timestamp

Look at the pictures. First find the conversion function you need, and then search further:
