`fill_value`(subfmt)	Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.
`format_string`(str_fmt, **kwargs)	Write time to a string using a given format.
`get_jds_fast`(val1, val2)	Use fast C parser to parse time strings in val1 and get jd1, jd2.
`get_jds_python`(val1, val2)	Parse the time strings contained in val1 and get jd1, jd2.
`parse_string`(timestr, subfmts)	Read time from a single string, using a set of possible formats.
`set_jds`(val1, val2)	Parse the time strings contained in val1 and set jd1, jd2.
`str_kwargs`()	Generator that yields a dict of values corresponding to the calendar date and time for the internal JD values.

Methods Documentation

classmethod fill_value(subfmt)#

Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.

This is used as a fill value for masked arrays to ensure that any ERFA operations on the masked array will not fail due to the masked value.

format_string(str_fmt, **kwargs)#

Write time to a string using a given format.

By default, just interprets str_fmt as a format string, but subclasses can add to this.

get_jds_fast(val1, val2)#: Use fast C parser to parse time strings in val1 and get jd1, jd2.

get_jds_python(val1, val2)#: Parse the time strings contained in val1 and get jd1, jd2.

parse_string(timestr, subfmts)#: Read time from a single string, using a set of possible formats.

set_jds(val1, val2)#: Parse the time strings contained in val1 and set jd1, jd2.

str_kwargs()#: Generator that yields a dict of values corresponding to the calendar date and time for the internal JD values.

to_value(parent=None, out_subfmt=None)#

Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2 in specified out_subfmt.

This is the base method that ignores parent and uses the value property to compute the output. This is done by temporarily setting self.out_subfmt and calling self.value. This is required for legacy Format subclasses prior to astropy 4.0 New code should instead implement the value functionality in to_value() and then make the value property be a simple call to self.to_value().

Parameters:

parentobject: Parent Time object associated with this TimeFormat object
out_subfmtstr or None: Output subformt (use existing self.out_subfmt if None)

Returns:

valuenumpy.array, numpy.ma.array: Array or masked array of formatted time representation values
