Somtimes we only get seconds and have to convert it to days, hours, minutes and seconds. In this tutorial, we will introduce you how to do.
For example, we have a time with 667.454 seconds, we will convert it to 00:11:07.454
How to convert seconds to days, hours, minutes and seconds?
We can create a function to convert. Here is an example:
def sec2time(sec, n_msec=3):
''' Convert seconds to 'D days, HH:MM:SS.FFF' '''
if hasattr(sec,'__len__'):
return [sec2time(s) for s in sec]
m, s = divmod(sec, 60)
h, m = divmod(m, 60)
d, h = divmod(h, 24)
if n_msec > 0:
pattern = '%%02d:%%02d:%%0%d.%df' % (n_msec+3, n_msec)
else:
pattern = r'%02d:%02d:%02d'
if d == 0:
text = pattern % (h, m, s)
else:
text = ('%d days, ' + pattern) % (d, h, m, s)
return text
x = sec2time(667.454)
Run this code, we will see: 00:11:07.454
We can convert more seconds.
For example:
x = sec2time(667) print(x) x = sec2time(6670.45) print(x) x = sec2time(6267.2) print(x) x = sec2time(6226754) print(x)
Run this code, we will see:
00:11:07.000 01:51:10.450 01:44:27.200 72 days, 01:39:14.000
Moreover, in some srt (SubRip Subtitle File) file, the time format is:
00:00:08,034 –> 00:00:11,343
We also can convert seconds with this kind of format.
For example:
def sec2time(sec, n_msec=3):
''' Convert seconds to 'D days, HH:MM:SS.FFF' '''
if hasattr(sec,'__len__'):
return [sec2time(s) for s in sec]
m, s = divmod(sec, 60)
h, m = divmod(m, 60)
d, h = divmod(h, 24)
if n_msec > 0:
pattern = '%%02d:%%02d:%%0%d.%df' % (n_msec+3, n_msec)
else:
pattern = r'%02d:%02d:%02d'
if d == 0:
text = pattern % (h, m, s)
else:
text = ('%d days, ' + pattern) % (d, h, m, s)
text = text.replace(".",",")
return text
x = sec2time(667.55)
print(x)
Run this code, we will see:
00:11:07,550
