Thanks to all and dear Dave Angel, I got this working :) , using
your valuable inputs .
Here is the final program:
Throttling-1# cat sleep_schedule_file.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import pdb
from datetime import date, time, datetime, timedelta
#'''run these on the remote commmand '''
n = datetime.now()
h = n.strftime("%H")
m = n.strftime("%M")
d = date.today()
#''' get the sleep_schedule_structure '''
def yield_times():
start = datetime.combine(d, time(int(h),int(m)))
end = datetime.combine(d, time(int(h),int(m)))
while True:
start += timedelta(minutes=4)
end = start + timedelta(minutes=2)
yield(start.strftime("%A"),start.strftime("%H:%M"),end.strftime("%H:%M"))
gen = yield_times()
f = open('/tmp/sleep_sched.conf','wb')
for ii in range(10):
a,b,c = gen.next()
res = "{0} {1} {2} \n".format(a,b,c)
print res,
f.write(res)
f.close()
