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_minute

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.
