Basic Usage¶
fiscalyear
provides several useful classes.
FiscalYear¶
The FiscalYear
class provides an object for storing information about the start and end of a particular fiscal year.
>>> from fiscalyear import *
>>> a = FiscalYear(2017)
>>> a.start
FiscalDateTime(2016, 10, 1, 0, 0)
>>> a.end
FiscalDateTime(2017, 9, 30, 23, 59, 59)
FiscalQuarter¶
The FiscalYear
class also allows you to query information about a specific quarter.
>>> a.q3.start
FiscalDateTime(2017, 4, 1, 0, 0)
>>> a.q3.end
FiscalDateTime(2017, 6, 30, 23, 59, 59)
These objects represent the standalone FiscalQuarter
class.
>>> b = FiscalQuarter(2017, 3)
>>> b.start
FiscalDateTime(2017, 4, 1, 0, 0)
>>> b.end
FiscalDateTime(2017, 6, 30, 23, 59, 59)
>>> a.q3 == b
True
>>> b in a
True
FiscalDateTime¶
The start and end of each quarter are stored as instances of the FiscalDateTime
class. This class provides all of the same features as the datetime
class, with the addition of the ability to query the fiscal year and quarter.
>>> c = FiscalDateTime.now()
>>> c
FiscalDateTime(2017, 4, 8, 20, 30, 31, 105323)
>>> c.fiscal_year
2017
>>> c.quarter
3
>>> c.next_quarter
FiscalQuarter(2017, 4)
FiscalDate¶
If you don’t care about the time component of the FiscalDateTime
class, the FiscalDate
class is right for you.
>>> d = FiscalDate.today()
>>> d
FiscalDate(2017, 4, 8)
>>> d.fiscal_year
2017
>>> d.prev_fiscal_year
FiscalYear(2016)
