I have issues converting Grasshopper Clock DateTime (type hint) to datetime in ghpython. Panel shows me hh:mm:ss but it seams there is also a default date attached. So I wonder how I get date from datetime and concatenate it to the the external Clock input. Last but not least format datetime from it manually…
Any Help or explanations are appreciated 
Not sure but I’m using this:
from time import localtime, strftime
a=strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", localtime())
b=strftime("%y_%m_%d", localtime())
print a
print b
Thx but I use the grasshopper clock from param > inputs to initiate a timedelta calculation. So I need datetime I guess. I am just confused with the different time types…
solved my issues kind of… not what i wanted but works! … in progess… part of a bigger context…
input ist DateTime (type hint) from Clock (prm >input) as trigger.
had chatgpt do the revison as my python skills are still limited.
import datetime
def calculate_timedelta():
default_deadline = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 8)
timedelta_to_default = default_deadline - datetime.datetime.now()
if timedelta_to_default.total_seconds() <= 0:
return "time is up"
days = timedelta_to_default.days
hours, seconds = divmod(timedelta_to_default.seconds, 3600)
minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60)
formatted_timedelta = "{} days {} hours {} minutes".format(days, hours, minutes)
return formatted_timedelta
def toggle_login(clock):
if "logged_in" not in globals():
globals()["logged_in"] = False
if "start_time" not in globals():
globals()["start_time"] = None
if clock and clock != globals().get("last_clock", None):
globals()["last_clock"] = clock
formatted_timedelta = calculate_timedelta()
if formatted_timedelta == "time is up":
print(formatted_timedelta)
elif not globals()["logged_in"]:
globals()["logged_in"] = True
globals()["start_time"] = clock
print("Logged in\n\nTimestamp @ {}".format(datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')))
else:
globals()["logged_in"] = False
end_time = clock
duration = end_time - globals()["start_time"]
print("Logged out\n\nTime elapsed: {}\nT-Minus: {}".format(duration, formatted_timedelta))
toggle_login(log)
