Class for working with time slots that have an arbitrary start and end.
Completes the Python datetime module: datetime (a time), timedelta (a duration), timezone (an offset), timeslot (a range/interval).
Supports operations such as: overlaps, intersects, contains, intersection, adjacent, gap, union.
Initially developed as part of aw-core, and inspired by a similar library for .NET.

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from timeslot import Timeslot
now = datetime.now()
slot = Timeslot(now, now + timedelta(hours=24)
assert slot.duration == timedelta(hours=24)
slot_large = Timeslot(now, now + timedelta(hours=24)
slot_small = Timeslot(now, now + timedelta(hours=1))
# The events definitely intersect
assert slot_large.intersects(slot_small)
# The larger even contains the smaller!
assert slot_large.contains(slot_small)
assert slot_small in slot_large
# You can also check if a datetime is within the slot
assert slot_large.contains(now)
# The union of a slot and a contained slot is equal to the larger slot
assert slot_large == slot_large.union(slot_small)
