It seem worth pointing out that this is why many of us like ISO8601 dates, which are written from largest component to smallest component. For example: 2020-05-04 They have the convenient property of sorting lexically as they would sort numerically. But David's right on in saying that if you're comparing numbers, do it numerically. Comparing text when the underlying thing isn't text is the wrong approach. Cheers, Cameron Simpson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Is there anything in the script which could cause it to not run its full course please?
Many thanks for your help. It is really appreciated. I see both your points and maybe this is where my problems lays. If for example it starts (and it does) at 9.30am then the print is.. streaming It is supposed to wait for the 40 minutes, stop then print this.. Waiting for the next stream to start at 12:30 however I get this same message maybe 4 minutes in, not 40. I have checked for admin 'events' in Win10 1909 however there is nothing there, and the start menu has only 3 items, none that would effect this. The box doesn't have anything else running, as it is virtually dedicated to this streaming. It has two displays, one for the stream program and the other for the dos box, so nothing is on the streamer screen where the mouse clicks. Once again many thanks and let me digest your info. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Not necessarily the cause of your problem, but if you're going to compare dates
it should be as objects, or as text as year-month-day. Here you're comparing
dates as text in day-month-year format. So January first comes before May

Is there anything in the script which could cause it to not run its full course please?
Hi,
A nooby here and I could do with some help in finding out what, if anything, is
wrong with the script
Is there anything in this script that could cause the stream to stop before the
allocated time?
For example the time.txt file which gives the times to the script, shows the
time to start and run, like this..
04-05-2020 09:30:00 40
04-05-2020 12:30:00 40
04-05-2020 15:30:00 40
04-05-2020 22:30:00 40
When I run the the stream manually not using the script, it runs the full 40
mins length however as soon as I use the script, it stops the stream a few
minutes in. It is not any specific time, just a random time.
I see my two options are..
something in the script or
something going on in the PC background, although it doesn't do it when I don't
use the script.
Please help and I am not sure where else to go as it does seem like a script or
python event.
Thank you
