How do I check if it's Monday to Friday and the time is between 10 AM to 3 PM?

Question

In python how do I check if its a weekday (Monday - Friday) and the time is between 10 AM to 3 PM?

Answer 1

https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html

The documentation states that date.weekday() returns the day of the week as an integer, where Monday is 0 and Sunday is 6. So this code will work:

import datetime # Hours must be 24 hour clock times def is_weekday_and_time_in_range(date, start_hour, end_hour): return date.weekday() < 5 and date.hour in range(start_hour, end_hour) today = datetime.datetime.now() is_weekday_and_time_in_range(today, 10, 15)

Answer 2

>>> import datetime
>>> d = datetime.datetime.now() 
# => datetime.datetime(2009, 12, 15, 13, 50, 35, 833175)

# check if weekday is 1..5
>>> d.isoweekday() in range(1, 6)
True

# check if hour is 10..15
>>> d.hour in range(10, 15)
True

# check if minute is 30
>>> d.minute==30
False

Answer 3

>>> import datetime
>>> now = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> now
datetime.datetime(2009, 12, 15, 12, 45, 33, 781000)
>>> now.isoweekday()
2        # Tuesday

time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. is right there as well
