Textclock - Displays current time as text - Jayro - 01-09-2012
Hey guys,
This is a quick script I put together to display the time in my DWM status bar. Instead of displaying the time like 1:34, it prints out oneTHIRTYfour.
Feel free to use / change it as much as you want. The code could be cleaned up but like I said this was a 5 minute thing. :)
Code:
#! /usr/bin/python
import time
time_conversion = {
0 : "zero",
1 : "one",
2 : "two",
3 : "three",
4 : "four",
5 : "five",
6 : "six",
7 : "seven",
8 : "eight",
9 : "nine",
10 : "ten",
11 : "eleven",
12 : "twelve",
13 : "thirteen",
14 : "fourteen",
15 : "fifteen",
16 : "sixteen",
17 : "seventeen",
18 : "eighteen",
19 : "nineteen"
}
current_hour = time.strftime("%I", time.localtime())
current_minute = time.strftime("%M", time.localtime())
if list(current_hour)[0] == '0':
current_hour = list(current_hour)[1]
minute_prefix = list(current_minute)[0]
minute_suffix = list(current_minute)[1]
if minute_prefix == "0":
parsed_minute = "ZERO" + time_conversion[int(minute_suffix)]
elif minute_prefix == "1":
parsed_minute = time_conversion[int(current_minute)]
elif minute_prefix == "2":
parsed_minute = "TWENTY" + time_conversion[int(minute_suffix)]
elif minute_prefix == "3":
parsed_minute = "THIRTY" + time_conversion[int(minute_suffix)]
elif minute_prefix == "4":
parsed_minute = "FOURTY" + time_conversion[int(minute_suffix)]
elif minute_prefix == "5":
parsed_minute = "FIFTY" + time_conversion[int(minute_suffix)]
parsed_hour = time_conversion[int(current_hour)]
print parsed_hour + parsed_minuteRE: Textclock - Displays current time as text - Jayro - 01-09-2012

I am not sure. Everyone else uses numbers, so why not be different?

He's being hipster. OT: Nice script.
You know me, always have to be different. Thanks!

Nice, such scripts can always come in handy for things like conky or other programs that display information.
