Maya is a Python library that simplifies working with datetimes. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for parsing, formatting, and manipulating dates and times, making it easier to work with temporal data in Python.

Features

• Human-readable API: Maya’s API is designed to be easy to read and understand, making it simple to work with datetimes in Python.
• Timezone support: Maya supports working with datetimes in different timezones, allowing you to handle time conversions and daylight saving time changes.
• Parsing and formatting: Maya provides functions for parsing datetimes from strings and formatting datetimes to strings, making it easy to work with date and time data.
• Manipulation: Maya allows you to manipulate datetimes by adding or subtracting time intervals, such as days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Usage

Here’s an example of how you can use Maya to work with datetimes in Python:

import maya

# Format the datetime as a string
formatted_dt = dt.rfc2822()

print(formatted_dt)

This will output the current datetime in RFC 2822 format.
