Ruby Time
Hi I am reading the time classes for Ruby. However I can't figure out what time method would be best for sports times. I am referring to this link http://www.ruby.ch/ProgrammingRuby/htmlC/ref_c_time.html I want the times stored to be in a mm:ss:hh format or ss:hh (where hh = hundreths of seconds). The times stored will be of times occuring over distance, and some will be imported from internet sources and some will come from direct user input. I am currently planning to use sequel and sqlite to store and query my data. Any suggestions on the best and most reliable format?...

time.time or time.clock
I'm having some cross platform issues with timing loops. It seems time.time is better for some computers/platforms and time.clock others, but it's not always clear which, so I came up with the following to try to determine which. import time # Determine if time.time is better than time.clock # The one with better resolution should be lower. if time.clock() - time.clock() < time.time() - time.time(): clock = time.clock else: clock = time.time Will this work most of the time, or is there something better?

time.clock() or time.time()
What's the difference between time.clock() and time.time() (and please don't say clock() is the CPU clock and time() is the actual time because that doesn't help me at all :) I'm trying to benchmark some function calls for Zope project and when I use t0=time.clock(); foo(); print time.clock()-t0 I get much smaller values than when I use time.clock() (most of them 0.0 but some 0.01) When I use time.time() I get values like 0.0133562088013, 0.00669002532959 etc. To me it looks like time.time() gives a better measure (at least from a statistical practical point of view). peterb...

time.time()
am I doing this wrong: print (time.time() / 60) / 60 #time.time has been running for many hours if time.time() was (21600/60) then that would equal 360/60 which would be 6, but I'm not getting 6 so I'm not doing the division right, any tips?

Is time.time() < time.time() always true?
So, I was blazin' some mad chronix, as they say, and got on to thinking about Python. The question was, is the statement: time.time() < time.time() always true? Seems it should be false, since the statement itself occurs at one time instant.. but of course we know that python doesn't execute code that way.. So my question is, why doesn't Python work this way? (PS, I wasn't smoking anything, its a figure of speech :) ) On 21 Nov 2006 15:10:25 -0800, flamesrock <flamesrock@gmail.com> wrote: > So, I was blazin' some mad chronix, as they say, and got on to th...

convert time in and time out
hi all, because I have a list of data that contains Clock_in and Clock_out, how can I know the total hours that have been used where I have converted it to Clock_in at 46200 and Clock_out at 48061 how can I know the total hours that have been used? by the way, did I need to create two new data to merge togather Thanks Not sure what you have or did. If those numbers represent the number of seconds since midnight, and you don't have any in and out combinations that span across midnight, you could use something like: data have; input clock_in clock_out; format x y time.; hours=3D(c...

convert time string in UTC to time in local time
I'm guessing there is an easy way to do this but I keep going around in circles in the documentation. I have a time stamp that looks like this (corresponding to UTC time): start_time = '2007-03-13T15:00:00Z' I want to convert it to my local time. start_time = time.mktime(time.strptime(start_time, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M: 00Z')) start_time -= time.timezone This was working fine now, but if I do it for a date next week (such as March 13th in the above example), it breaks because my local time moves to daylight savings time this weekend. So my time is now off by an hour....

time in milliseconds by calling time.time()
I am trying to measure some system response time by using the time.time () or time.clock() in my script. However, the numbers I get are in 10s of milliseconds. For example, 1248481670.34 #from time.time() 0.08 #from time.clock() That won't work for me, since the response time may be only a few milliseconds. My environment is Solaris 10 with Python 2.4.4 (#7, Feb 9 2007, 22:10:21). SunOS 5.10 Generic_137112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc The tricky thing is, if I run the python interpreter and import the time module, I can get a time floating number in better precision by cal...

Query to return first time and second time, then difference (response time)
I have a table containing records of email traffic, with subject and sent time. I want to create a query which returns the time of the first email in a thread, then the time of the second email in a thread, then the difference in those two times. In other words, response time for each thread. I've done this before, but can't remember how. In words, I did a "min" on date, and then another "min" on date but <> the first min. However, I can't recall exactly how I did that. So, for the first response, I need to find the minimum sent time not equal to the...

Calculating time differences given daylight savings time
I am running Python 2.7 and would like to be able to calculate to the second the time difference between now and some future date/time in the same timezone while taking into account daylight savings time.

Calculate the first time, not each time (?)
Hello, I'm doing some engineering which will involve a large number of points -- and I anticipate time problems if all steps are repeated for each one. Here's an outline of the way I'd like to approach it. shapeprimativeXvalues := N[Table[functionpX[v], {v, vlimit}]] shapeprimativeYvalues := N[Table[functionpY[v], {v, vlimit}]] Arriving at these will involve some calculation, and once the results are in, it is unnecessary that the this be repeated when the values are used. adaptshapetoitslocation[v_] := (various operations on or includin...

Re: convert time in and time out
Time values are simply seconds from midnight. If you subtract a time value from another, you get duration in seconds. If you want duration in hours, divide by 3600. -----Original Message----- From: SAS(r) Discussion [mailto:SAS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of peter zeng Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 5:39 PM To: SAS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: convert time in and time out hi all, because I have a list of data that contains Clock_in and Clock_out, how can I know the total hours that have been used where I have converted it to Clock_in at 46200 and Clock_out at 48061 how can I know the tot...

delta time = time stop
I'm using Python to parse a bunch of s/w test files and make csv files for later report generation by MS ACCESS....(my boss loves the quick turn-around compared to C). Each log file may contain one or more 'sessions', and each session may contain one or more 'nodes'. Each session in the log has an ASCII start and stop time, as does each node. I have the basic parse part done for parameters, errors, etc., but noticed my routine for determining how long each session/node took (delta time) was a bit repetitive, so decided to make a 'stand-alone' routine to handle th...

Getting access to run time of a process from Ruby, as opposed to wall clock time
The C runtime for POSIX includes a clock() function that gives you the amount of time that your process has actually had on the CPU. I've googled for a way to get access to this from Ruby, and all I get is the fact that rubyprof uses this in its implementation. Is there a way to get at this or something equivalent from Ruby without having to write a C extension? Thanks. theosib@gmail.com wrote: > The C runtime for POSIX includes a clock() function that gives you the > amount of time that your process has actually had on the CPU.
