Punctual Python
Punctual Python In-Person
The clocks get turned back an hour on Sunday, November 2 when Daylight Saving Time ends... but that doesn't mean we'll get to stop thinking about time!
Join us for a one-hour workshop on Tuesday, November 4 at 2:00 PM in the Yarrow Classroom on the Library's second floor, and you'll learn about the various tools Python provides you that deal with time - how it's represented, measured, and managed. We'll go over how to convert between different time formats using the time, datetime, and dateutil modules, how to account for local time zones when dealing with time data, how to estimate your code's execution time with tqdm, and how to insert pauses into your code with time.sleep().
Please note: the material of this workshop assumes some prior familiarity with Python, but the topics covered will not require in-depth knowledge of the language. (For additional Python resources, please see the Introduction to Python research guide, which contains links to past Python workshop materials.)
