How to use
==================

The ago module comes with three functions: 

#. human
#. delta2human
#. delta2dict

You really only need to worry about *human*::

 from ago import human, delta2human, delta2dict
 
 from datetime import datetime

 # pretend this was stored in database
 d1 = datetime( 
   year = 2010, 
   month=5, 
   day=4, 
   hour=6, 
   minute=54, 
   second=33, 
   microsecond=4000
  )

 # to find out how long ago, use the human function
 print 'Created ' + human( d1 ) + ' ago.'
 
 # optionally pass a precision
 print 'Created ' + human( d1, 3 ) + ' ago.'
 print 'Created ' + human( d1, 6 ) + ' ago.'

Now we will document how to use delta2human and delta2dict::

 # pretend we already have a timedelta object

 # subtract two datetime objects for a timedelta object
 d2 = datetime.now()
 delta = d2 - d1

 # display a human readable timedelta from a timedelta 
 print 'Created ' + delta2human( delta ) + ' ago.'

 #  create a dictionary out of the timedelta
 delta_dict = delta2dict( delta )
 print delta_dict
