如何在python中定义开始时间和结束时间

Question

I am using the code

def run_periodically(start, end, interval, func):
    event_time = start
    while event_time < end:
        s.enterabs(event_time, 0, func, ())
        event_time += interval + random(-5, 45)
    s.run()

    run_periodically(time()+5, time()+1000000, 10, getData)

Now If I wanted to define the start time as 22.00 how is this formatted in python?

eg I would change the code to

starttime = #?#

run_periodically(starttime(), time()+1000000, 10, getData)

What is the standard time formatting used to make this work?

Answer 1

The Python time() related functions take the number of seconds since a particular date (depending on your os). You can convert that from the datetime types using datetime.time()

import datetime
timestamp = datetime.datetime(2013, 6, 4, 6, 18, 1).time()

That makes timestamp usable for run_periodically .

You can also go the other way by using datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()) . All this and more detailed info can be found in the module documentation .
