There are a lot of threads with questions similar to mine, but I can't find the correct answer.
My goal is to create an if statement that compares the time now to a schedule (the schedule defined by a start time and end time).
I have it working if I put specific numbers in for the schedule, but I need to pass variables into my statement seeing that the schedule is not going to be static.
What I have so far:
import time as sleeptime
from datetime import datetime, time
schedule_list = []
def scheduler():
conn = pymysql.connect(host='myhost', db='test', user='1234', passwd='123456', autocommit = True)
cur = conn.cursor()
query = ("SELECT startTimehour, startTimeminute, endTimehour, endTimeminute FROM schedule WHERE hwID = %s")
print query
cur.execute(query, (number))
for row in cur:
print row
door_schedule_list.append(row)
cur.close()
conn.close()
if len(door_schedule_list) > 0:
start_time_hour = door_schedule_list[0][0]
start_time_minute = door_schedule_list[0][1]
end_time_hour = door_schedule_list[0][2]
end_time_minute = door_schedule_list[0][3]
print start_time_hour
print start_time_minute
print end_time_hour
print end_time_minute
while True:
now = datetime.now()
#print (door_schedule_list)
#starttime = time(startTimehour, startTimeminute)
if time("%d","%d") <= now.time() <= time("%d","%d") % (start_time_hour, start_time_minute, end_time_hour, end_time_minute):
print "Schedule active"
sleeptime.sleep(20)
else:
print "Schedule Inactive"
sleeptime.sleep(20)
If there is an easier way to accomplish my goal, please let me know. Otherwise how can I fix the error.
When you do:
if time("%d","%d") <= now.time() <= time("%d","%d") % (start_time_hour, start_time_minute, end_time_hour, end_time_minute)
the %
operator its not doing what you think it should do.
Its not the same:
time("%d" % 5, "%d" % 4)
than
time("%d", "%d") % (5, 4)
the last line will complains with the error: an integer is required
.
Also you can:
hours = 5
min = 4
time(hours, min)
So you can change the line to:
if time(start_time_hour, start_time_minute) <= now.time() <= time(end_time_hour, end_time_minute)
