Datetime

class DateTime (formatters: str | Iterable[str] = ('%I:%M %p', '%A', '%m-%d-%Y'), interval: int = 1000, name: str | None = None, visible: bool = True, all_visible: bool = False, style: str | None = None, style_classes: Iterable[str] | str | None = None, tooltip_text: str | None = None, tooltip_markup: str | None = None, h_align: Literal['fill', 'start', 'end', 'center', 'baseline'] | Align | None = None, v_align: Literal['fill', 'start', 'end', 'center', 'baseline'] | Align | None = None, h_expand: bool = False, v_expand: bool = False, size: Iterable[int] | int | None = None, **kwargs)

Bases: Button

Dead simple implementation of a date-time widget

The way this widget works is by having a button that listens for click events and upon that it switchs to the next date-time format from the given list of formatters.

  • Parameters:
    • formatters (str | Iterable *[*str ] , optional) — the date-time formatter (or a list of formatters) for each cycle, defaults to (“%I:%M %p”, “%A”, “%m-%d-%Y”)
    • interval (int , optional) — the interval for updating this widget’s content (rerender date-time) in milliseconds, defaults to 1000
    • name (str | None , optional) — the name identifer for this widget (useful for styling), defaults to None
    • visible (bool , optional) — whether should this widget be visible or not once initialized, defaults to True
    • all_visible (bool , optional) — whether should this widget and all of its children be visible or not once initialized, defaults to False
    • style (str | None , optional) — inline stylesheet to be applied on this widget, defaults to None
    • style_classes (Iterable *[*str ] | str | None , optional) — a list of style classes to be added into this widget once initialized, defaults to None
    • tooltip_text (str | None , optional) — the text that should be rendered inside the tooltip, defaults to None
    • tooltip_markup (str | None , optional) — same as tooltip_text but it accepts simple markup expressions, defaults to None
    • h_align (Literal [ “fill” , “start” , “end” , “center” , “baseline” ] | Gtk.Align | None , optional) — horizontal alignment of this widget (compared to its parent), defaults to None
    • v_align (Literal [ “fill” , “start” , “end” , “center” , “baseline” ] | Gtk.Align | None , optional) — vertical alignment of this widget (compared to its parent), defaults to None
    • h_expand (bool , optional) — whether should this widget fill in all the available horizontal space or not, defaults to False
    • v_expand (bool , optional) — whether should this widget fill in all the available vertical space or not, defaults to False
    • size (Iterable *[*int ] | int | None , optional) — a fixed size for this widget (not guranteed to get applied), defaults to None
