I am trying to have some clever dates since a post has been made on my site ("seconds since, hours since, weeks since, etc..") and I'm using datetime.timedelta difference between utcnow and utc dated stored in the database for a post. Looks like, according to the docs, I have to use the days attribute AND the seconds attribute, to get t...
Hi, I'm a python newbie (2 weeks) and I'm having trouble formatting a datetime.timedelta object. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a list of objects and one of the members of the class of the object is a timedelta object that shows the duration of an event. I would like to display that duration in the format of hours:minutes. I ha...
A mysql database table has a column whose datatype is time ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/time.html ). When the table data is accessed, Python returns the value of this column as a datetime.timedelta object. How do I extract the time out of this? (I didn't really understand what timedelta is for from the python manuals). E.g. ...
I need to check if some number of years have been since some date. Currently I've got timedelta from datetime module and I don't know how to convert it to years. ...
I have a very simple charting component which takes integer on the x/y axis. My problem is that I need to represent date/float on this chart. So I though I could distribute proportionally dates on a scale. In other words, let's say I have the following date : 01/01/2008, 02/01/2008 and 31/12/2008. The algorithm would return 0, 16.667, an...
I understand that seconds and microseconds are probably represented separately in datetime.timedelta for efficiency reasons, but I just wrote this simple function: def to_seconds_float(timedelta): """Calculate floating point representation of combined seconds/microseconds attributes in :param:`timedelta`. :raise ValueError:...
I'm using Java's java.util.date class in Scala and want to compare a date object and the current time. I know I can calculate the delta by using getTime(): (new java.util.Date()).getTime() - oldDate.getTime() However, this just leaves me with a Long representing milliseconds. Is there any simpler, nicer way to get a time delta? ...
Hello all. Heres my situation: import foo, bar, etc frequency = ["hours","days","weeks"] class geoProcessClass(): def __init__(self,geoTaskHandler,startDate,frequency,frequencyMultiple=1,*args): self.interval = self.__determineTimeDelta(frequency,frequencyMultiple) def __determineTimeDelta(self,frequency,frequencyMu...
I've got a timedelta. I want the days, hours and minutes from that - either as a tuple or a dictionary... I'm not fussed. I must have done this a dozen times in a dozen languages over the years but Python usually has a simple answer to everything so I thought I'd ask here before busting out some nauseatingly simple (yet verbose) mathema...
What is the proper way to convert a timedelta object into a datetime object? I immediately think of something like datetime(0)+deltaObj but that's not very nice... isn't there a toDateTime() function or something of the sort? ...
Hello Assume I have these datatime variables: start_time, end_time, current_time I would like to know how much time left as percentage by checking current_time and the time delta between start_time and the end_time IE: Assume the interval is a 24 hours betwen start_time and end_time yet between current_time and end_time, there are 6...
I have a variable which is <type 'datetime.timedelta'> and I would like to compare it against certain values. Lets say d produces this datetime.timedelta value 0:00:01.782000 I would like to compare it like this: #if d is greater than 1 minute if d>1:00: print "elapsed time is greater than 1 minute" I have tried converting datet...
As per the title, I'm trying to parse an XML file containing an xs:duration data type. I'd like to convert that into a Python timedelta object, which I can then use in further calculations. Is there any built-in way of doing this, similar to the strptime() function? If not, what is the best way to achieve this? ...
I have a time out of Linux that is in hh:mm:sec, but the hh can be greater than 24 hours. So if the time is 1 day 12 hours, it would be 36:00:00. Is there a way to take this format and easily make a time object? What I would really like to do is take the the required time i.e. 36:00:00, and the time that it has been running 4:46:23, a...
Hi I would like to know that how much time a particular function has spent during the duration of the program which involves recursion, what is the best way of doing it? Thank you ...
Hi, I'm trying to divide one timedelta object with another to calculate a server uptime: >>> import datetime >>> installation_date=datetime.datetime(2010,8,01) >>> down_time=datetime.timedelta(seconds=1400) >>> server_life_period=datetime.datetime.now()-installation_date >>> down_time_percentage=down_time/server_life_period Traceback (...
Python: How to get the sum of timedelta? Eg. I just got a lot of timedelta object, and now I want the sum. That's it! ...
