Simple sunset and sunrise time calculation python library.
Using pip:
pip3 install suntime
Or download and type:
python3 setup.py install
You can use the library to get UTC sunrise and sunset times typing:
import time
from suntime import Sun, SunTimeException
latitude = 51.21
longitude = 21.01
sun = Sun(latitude, longitude)
# Get today's sunrise and sunset in UTC
today_sr = sun.get_sunrise_time()
today_ss = sun.get_sunset_time()
print('Today at Warsaw the sun raised at {}:{} and get down at {}:{} UTC'.
format(today_sr[3], today_sr[4], today_ss[3], today_ss[4]))
# On a special date
abd = (2014, 10, 3, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1)
abd_sr = sun.get_sunrise_time(abd)
abd_ss = sun.get_sunset_time(abd)
print('On {}-{}-{} the sun at Warsaw raised at {}:{} and got down at {}:{}.'.
format(abd[0], abd[1], abd[2], abd_sr[3], abd_sr[4], abd_ss[3], abd_ss[4]))
# Error handling (no sunset or sunrise on given location)
latitude = 87.55
longitude = 0.1
sun = Sun(latitude, longitude)
try:
abd_sr = sun.get_sunrise_time(abd)
abd_ss = sun.get_sunset_time(abd)
print('On {}-{}-{} at somewhere in the north the sun raised at {}:{} and got down at {}:{}.'.
format(abd[0], abd[1], abd[2], abd_sr[3], abd_sr[4], abd_ss[3], abd_ss[4]))
except SunTimeException as e:
print("Error: {0}.".format(e))Copyright © 2019 SatAgro Sp. z o.o. and contributors:
