This doesn't take into account that either class can be "from now" or "ago" depending on whether the time is in the future or the past. When printing, you need to look at the current state of the datetime and determine whether it's in the future or past to know whether to print "from now" or "ago". |

What if the date is actually today? You don't take that into account. |

This needs to be redone to actually add those changes into the code itself, not just the README. |

Modify prettytime.py to take into account if the day is today, and add a print_stdout: bool parameter to the _print() function, defaulting to False, where if False we return string and if True does a true print() |
