Passing string to team

I’m taking 2 strings in the format hh:mm:ss to then calculate the time spent between them in days, hours, minutes and seconds format.

I have already split and have all fields separated into their own variables of the whole type, for example: hora_inicio, minuto_inicio, etc. However, I am having trouble conversions minutes x hours, seconds x minutes, etc.

Is there any way I can "assemble" a time-type variable with these variables of mine hora_inicio, minuto_inicio to make it easier to calculate the time spent?

python python-3.x time

  • How will you calculate the interval in days if the strings only talk about hours, minutes and seconds?

  • @Pabloalmeida days are sent directly by other input

  • You just want to know how to create datetimes for those hours?

  • exact. I want to know how to use hh to compose the one referring to the hour, mm to the field referring to the seconds, etc.

    As an observation, you don’t need to split; just use the datetime.strptime.

Use the class datetime of the datetime package to create a date with time information:

from datetime import datetime

dataComHora1 = datetime(2018, 1, 29, 22, 35, 12)

You can do mathematical operations on objects datetime. As you want the difference between two dates, use subtraction:

diferenca = dataComHora2 - dataComHora1

With this resulting object, which is of the type timedelta, you can extract the information you want (seconds, minutes, hours, total_seconds etc..)
