Infinite while loop freezez in GhPython

I believe you’ll need to avoid the loop and trigger the Python component somehow, such as connecting anything that changes when the model changes (instead of the Button below):

How to save current date and time?

I’d start with this? [date_time] Oh, wait… Time is fixed to the moment you first put it on the canvas and doesn’t change. Kind of useless, isn’t it. Here’s a Python thing; every time you push the button (or otherwise trigger the ‘x’ input?), the date/time updates: import datetime now = datetime.datetime.now() Y = now.year M = now.month D = now.day h = now.hour m = now.minute s = now.second [date_time] time_date_2019Jul8a.gh (5.5 KB)

time_date_2019Jul8a.gh

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
Y = now.year
M = now.month
D = now.day
h = now.hour
m = now.minute
s = now.second
