Python Forum

I looked everywhere and it look like Chinese for me..
I can't figure how to get a simple time event as following:
if time is between x and y
this happen ..

I can't figure how to get the value out of the time parameter to write my code..
Can anyone help me out with that ?

I need a simple code who would make A=1 if the current time is between 0700 and 2100...
As simple as It sound I can't seem to figure it out..

Chinese looks fine if you know Chinese.
I have no idea what you are talking about as you haven't posted any code

start by reading docs for
time module and on PyMOTW
datetime module and on PyMOTW

then post your code and asl specdific questions as advised by Larz

I rode those multiple time.. here a short script to explain my issue:

import time
time.ctime()
time.strftime('%l:%M%p %Z on %b %d, %Y')

while time.strftime('%l')>7 and time.strftime('%l')<21:
#event happen here..

import time
time.ctime()
time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")
 
h = int(time.strftime('%H'))
if h > 7 and h<21:
    print("f")

prints "f" if the time is between 0700 and 2100. Elsewise, instead of print("f"), you can make it A=1

Awesome, il give a try. THANK !

Work great ! thank.
complete code if you need some light for your plant:

#A2.1
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import datetime
import time
time.ctime()
time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")

h = int(time.strftime('%H'))

light = 21

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)

if h>=7 and h<21:
    GPIO.setup(light, GPIO.OUT)
    GPIO.output(light, GPIO.LOW)
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    path = '/media/pi/34BF-2414/log.txt'
    log = open(path,'a')
    log.write(now.strftime('\n' + "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"))
    log.write('  Main light ON')
    log.close()
else:
    
    GPIO.output(light, GPIO.HIGH)
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    path = '/media/pi/34BF-2414/log.txt'
    log = open(path,'a')
    log.write(now.strftime('\n' + "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"))
    log.write('  Main light OFF')
    log.close()
