Based on the current time (datetime.now()) I want to expand this to cover the whole days time.
Right now I have been using:
start = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
end = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
Problem is that this is 24 hours from the current date. If it is 12pm noon that means it should only look back 12 hours as I want to search for the current days records.
How can I accomplish this in Python?
I hope this makes sense, I just gave very descriptive variable names
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
now = datetime.now()
start_of_day = datetime(now.year,now.month,now.day)
delta_since_start_of_day = now - start_of_day
delta_till_end_of_day = timedelta(days=1) - delta_since_start_of_day
end_of_day = start_of_day + timedelta(days=1)
