import chilkat2

dt = chilkat2.CkDateTime()

# Set to the current system date/time.
dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
print("Now: " + dt.GetAsTimestamp(True))

# Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
dt.AddSeconds(-600)
print("10 minutes ago: " + dt.GetAsTimestamp(True))

# Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
b = dt.OlderThan(10,"seconds")
print("Older than 10 seconds: " + str(b))

# Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(5,"minutes")
print("Older than 5 minutes: " + str(b))

# Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
b = dt.OlderThan(15,"minutes")
print("Older than 15 minutes: " + str(b))

# Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"hour")
print("Older than 1 hour: " + str(b))

# Is the date/time older than 1 day?
b = dt.OlderThan(1,"day")
print("Older than 1 day: " + str(b))

# Output:

# 	Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500
# 	10 minutes ago: 2017-05-05T23:23:06-0500
# 	Older than 10 seconds: True
# 	Older than 5 minutes: True
# 	Older than 15 minutes: False
