If a new release of leapseconddata is needed, for instance because of a new leap second or in order to support new Python versions, the project will continue at codeberg.org rather than github.
Leap seconds are corrections applied irregularly so that the UTC day stays fixed to the earth's rotation.
This module provides a class for parsing and validating the standard
leap-seconds.list file. Once parsed, it is possible to retrieve the
full list of leap seconds, or find the TAI-UTC offset for any UTC time.
Access leap second data from the command line.
Usage: leapsecond [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
