Python code to determine its day or night

Question

Weather forecasting organization wants to show is it day or night. How do I write a python program for this?

Answer 1

Try something like this:

sample data: (timezone= utc/zulutime)
    timestamps = ['2015-03-25 21:15:00', '2015-06-27 18:24:00', '2015-06-27 18:22:00', '2015-06-27 18:21:00', '2015-07-07 07:53:00']

    for timestamp in timestamps:
        time = datetime.datetime.strptime(timestamp, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
        hr, mi = (time.hour, time.minute)
        if hr>=7 and hr<18: print ("daylight")
        else: print ("evening or night")
