class LeapSeconds[source]

LeapSeconds()

Determine the number of leap seconds.

The purpose of this class is to provide a place to store leap second information. It has two methods: one to get the number of leap seconds at a given time and one to get the next leap second.

.. note:: Leap Second Information The number of leap seconds is accurate through 31 Dec 2020, which is all of the planned leap seconds at the time of writing (30 March 2020). There is no leap second planned for 30 Jun 2020, so the next possible leap second is 31 Dec 2020 23:59:60. This class will need to be updated as future leap seconds are planned.
