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.

pip install ppd fails for python 3.10.4 and 3.10.8 on macOS 12.6 (Monterey) with FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pdd'

Workaround: Downloading the zip-file and installing with pip install pdd-master.zip succeeds.

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?

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

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.

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

returns

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

Update to python3.8 seems to have broken pdd

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

$ pdd

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

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

Hey,

Would it be possible to have pdd on PyPi?

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!

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

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 :)

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
