This approach uses strptime and strftime with format directives as per https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior, %H is the 24 hour clock, %I is the 12 hour clock and when using the 12 hour clock, %p qualifies if it is AM or PM. >>> from datetime import datetime >>> m2 = ‘1:35 PM’ >>> in_time = datetime.strptime(m2, “%I:%M %p”) … Read more
The date time components TimeOfDay is what you need. MSDN says “Unlike the Date property, which returns a DateTime value that represents a date without its time component, the TimeOfDay property returns a TimeSpan value that represents a DateTime value’s time component.” Here is an example with consideration of all your scenarios. Since you are … Read more
import sys import datetime time_tuple = ( 2012, # Year 9, # Month 6, # Day 0, # Hour 38, # Minute 0, # Second 0, # Millisecond ) def _win_set_time(time_tuple): import pywin32 # http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32api__SetSystemTime_meth.html # pywin32.SetSystemTime(year, month , dayOfWeek , day , hour , minute , second , millseconds ) dayOfWeek = datetime.datetime(time_tuple).isocalendar()[2] pywin32.SetSystemTime( … Read more
Use a datetime.datetime(), then add or subtract datetime.timedelta() instances. >>> import datetime >>> t = datetime.datetime.now() >>> t – datetime.timedelta(hours=1, minutes=10) datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 26, 17, 18, 52, 167840) timedelta() arithmetic is not supported for datetime.time() objects; if you need to use offsets from an existing datetime.time() object, just use datetime.datetime.combine() to form a datetime.datetime() instance, … Read more
If you want to get the seconds since epoch, you can use python-dateutil to convert it to a datetime object and then convert it so seconds using the strftime method. Like so: >>> import dateutil.parser as dp >>> t=”1984-06-02T19:05:00.000Z” >>> parsed_t = dp.parse(t) >>> t_in_seconds = parsed_t.timestamp() >>> t_in_seconds ‘455051100’ So you were halfway there … Read more
Match the types of argument to time.Sleep: r := rand.Intn(10) time.Sleep(time.Duration(r) * time.Microsecond) This works because time.Duration has int64 as its underlying type: type Duration int64 Docs: https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Duration
It looks like ActiveSupport does provide the parsing methods you are looking for (and I was looking for too), after all! — at least if the string you are trying to parse is a standard, ISO-8601-formatted (:db format) date. If the date you’re trying to parse is already in your local time zone, it’s really … Read more
