hi django experts,
how do I strip the following string in python (Charfield format)
14:00
3:00
Do you also keep am and pm? What about UTC offsets?
You need a helper method to interpret the numbers, convert them to
seconds, do the comparison and return True or False to your view or
model depending on when you need to know.
If the data is entered by humans you might have a different problem.
Somehow you need to make sure the users enter what they actually meant
rather than what you see in the charfield.
It would be good to insist on 03:00 rather than 3:00 for a start. Look
at properly formatting the data before saving it.
I would try to do a bit of error detection and perhaps any easy
corrections (like 3 to 03) in client-side javascript or a widget before
the server sees it. Depends where your performance bottlenecks will be.

wherein I could compare the results - convert in integer:
if 14> 3 . . .
thanks in advance!
