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)

You can also get the current FiscalYear with:

>>> FiscalYear.current()
FiscalYear(2018)

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

You can also get the current FiscalQuarter with:

>>> FiscalQuarter.current()
FiscalQuarter(2018, 2)

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)
