Pendulum Help Please

[bill_z]

Now that pendulum is working, I have a question about daylight savings time & pendulum.

The program that I am writing fires off tasks ever 15 minutes between sunrise and sunset and currently used datetime.

What pendulum command would I run to get the current time when in daylight savings time or not? As I read the pendulum documentation and run my test, I can get hours but not minutes.

Here is one of my test & output. The time I ran it was 15:18 local time today. I was expecting something like 15:18 or 3:18 but none of these results seem to be correct.

import pendulum

# Gets the timezone instance
print(pendulum.now().timezone)
print(pendulum.now().tz)

# Gets the timezone name
print(pendulum.now().timezone_name)

# Indicates if daylight savings time is on
dt = pendulum.datetime(2022, 1, 1, tz='America/Chicago')
print(dt)
dt = pendulum.datetime(2022, 7, 1, tz='America/Chicago')
print(dt)

Output:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 pendulum1.py
Timezone('America/Chicago')
Timezone('America/Chicago')
America/Chicago
