Re: [Tutor] Difference in minutes between two time stamps

[Tim Michelsen]

  import datetime

s = '09:35:23'
datetime.datetime.strptime(s, '%H:%M:%S')

datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1, 9, 35, 23)

Can you figure out how to proceed from there?

In case she doesn't know:

import datetime as dt
start=09:35:23
end=10:23:00

start_dt = dt.datetime.strptime(start, '%H:%M:%S')

end_dt = dt.datetime.strptime(end, '%H:%M:%S')

diff.seconds/60

I forgot to paste in between:
diff = (end_dt - start_dt)

[Tutor] Difference in minutes between two time stamps

[Judith Flores]

Hello,

   I can't seem to figure out the syntax to calculate the difference in minutes 
between two time stamps. I already read the documentation about datetime and 
time modules, but I was unable to implement the code.

My code will be fed with two timestamps (as styrings):

start=09:35:23
end=10:23:00

Could someone guide me on how to calculate the difference in minutes 
between both stamps?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Judith

You want to use the datetime.datetime.strptime() function to parse the
timestamps.  Although you will probably need to look at the time
module to get the different codes -- the documentation isn't superbly
organised in this area, I feel.

Anyway, as a start:

 import datetime
 s = '09:35:23'
 datetime.datetime.strptime(s, '%H:%M:%S')
datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1, 9, 35, 23)

Can you figure out how to proceed from there?
