ValueError:too many values to unpack

Question

I'm a beginner and, when I try to transform date time to mins, I get the error:

ValueError: too many values to unpack

Here's my code:

def t2m(t):
    m,s,l = t.strip().split(":")
    return int(m)+int(s)/60+int(l)/6000

a= "0000-00-00 00:12:46:13"
d=a.strip('0000-00-00 00')

print(round(t2m(d)),1) 

Answer 1

You are getting the error because t.strip().split(":") returns 4 values and you are trying to put them into m,s,l .

You should replace your second line with:

_,m,s,l = t.strip().split(":")

Answer 2

found out by myself. should be like

d=a.strip('0000-00-00 00：')
