I have a function that I use to round time increments. I just realized it
fails when the time rolls over the 24 hour period.
I also found myself needing to make a second version for rounding to hours.
Anyone care to take a stab at fixing it to handle the rollover AND hours?
def round_off(mins, secs, to_nearest=1):
div_result, remainder = divmod(mins, to_nearest)
if remainder < 7:
return to_nearest * div_result
elif remainder > 7:
return to_nearest * (div_result + 1)
else: #remainder == 7
if secs < 30:
return to_nearest * div_result
else:
return to_nearest * (div_result + 1)
If the the time is 2010, 12, 16, 23, 54 and the to_nearest is 5 (round to
nearest 5 minutes), it works.
If the time is 2010, 12, 16, 23, 55
it errors with the message "minutes must be 0..59"
I use it like this:
finishtime = lasttime.replace(minute=round_off(lasttime.minute,
lasttime.second, to_nearest=5), second=0)
I'm too tired & ignorant to figure it out.
