Description:
This recipe emulates time from the fictional planet of Aens.
The code is meant to be a novelty and not for real programming.
Source: Text Source
'''Support module for Aens time conversion.
This module provides several functions that allow
conversion from earth seconds to Aens time units.'''
__version__ = 1.2
import time
def aens_seconds():
'Return current Aens seconds.'
return time.time() - 946684800
def aens_year(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to years.'
return int(seconds) / 29030400 + 1
def aens_season(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to seasons.'
return int(seconds) / 7257600 % 4 + 1
def aens_month(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to months.'
return int(seconds) / 2419200 % 3 + 1
def aens_week(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to weeks.'
return int(seconds) / 604800 % 4 + 1
def aens_day(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to days.'
return int(seconds) / 86400 % 7 + 1
def aens_alpha(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to alphas.'
return int(seconds % 86400 * 1000 / 86400)
def aens_beta(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to betas.'
return int(seconds % 86400 * 1000000 / 86400 % 1000)
def basic_format(seconds):
'Converts from seconds to basic format.'
return '.'.join((str(aens_year(seconds)), str(aens_season(seconds)), str(aens_month(seconds)), str(aens_week(seconds)), str(aens_day(seconds)), str(aens_alpha(seconds)).zfill(3), str(aens_beta(seconds)).zfill(3)))
def timer(seconds):
'Prints time for specified number of seconds.'
start = time.time()
while time.time() - start <= seconds:
print basic_format(aens_seconds())
beta = aens_beta(aens_seconds())
while beta == aens_beta(aens_seconds()):
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print
print file(sys.argv[0]).read()
Discussion:
A timer function is provided to visualize the passing of time on Aens.
The most I've been able to do with this module is use it to encode
timestamps.
