[Tutor] Directory not empty :: Fast mode
To knowing if a directory isn't empty, I use: dir_example = "/usr/foo/" if glob.glob(os.path.join(dir_example, "*")): ... But, as it has to expand all files, i'm supposed that it's a little slow to simply knowing if a directory is empty.

[Tutor] Exceptions for checking root, files
Hi, I never haven't worked with exceptions, and I'm a little confused.

Does this checks can be runned from an exception?

Well, it's from minor to mayor.
But the big problem is that Python does lexicographic sorting on tuples.
So, how sort the second column by the numbers before of 'x'?

[Tutor] Time - sum/difference
I would get the local time of a country, using UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and DST (Daylight SavingTime) of that country. An example, utc time -02:30 and dst +1 : country_utc = datetime.time(2,30) isUTCNegative = True dst = datetime.time(1,0) Now I would the difference of both times. -02:30 + 01:00 -> -01:30 Is possible get sum/difference of time values? How? Thanks in advance ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Time - sum/difference
I wanted to sum two time values:
-02:30
+01:00
--
-01:30
I found one solution:
>>> time_local = dt.time(2,30)
>>> time_str = str(time_local).split(':')
Now I'll can get the first value, convert to integer and sum it.

Anyway, I found a library for working with time zones http://pytz.sourceforge.net/ Hugo González Monteverde wrote: > What I usually do is convert them all to UNIX epoch and then substact > the values in seconds: > > >>> import time > >>> early = time.time() > >>> sleep(5) > >>> time.sleep(5) > >>> late = time.time() > >>> print late - early > 5.7889997959 > >>> > > > Jonas Melian wrote: > >> I would get the local time of a country, using UTC (Universal Time >> Coordinated) and DST (Daylight SavingTime) of that country. >> >> An example, utc time -02:30 and dst +1 : >> >> country_utc = datetime.time(2,30) >> isUTCNegative = True >> dst = datetime.time(1,0) >> >> Now I would the difference of both times. >> -02:30 + 01:00 -> -01:30 >> >> Is possible get sum/difference of time values?
