GPi clock in Python


Now I am writing a Python program to display time in Guzunty Pi LED driver.  The first thing is to get the digits to display.

# *** Get digits representing hour, minute, and second - tlfong01 2013apr27 ***
import time

timeString =  time.asctime( time.localtime(time.time()) )
print timeString

print "Hour   digit 1 = ", timeString[11:12]
print "Hour   digit 2 = ", timeString[12:13]
print "Minute digit 1 = ", timeString[14:15]
print "Minute digit 2 = ", timeString[15:16]
print "Second digit 1 = ", timeString[17:18]
print "Second digit 2 = ", timeString[18:19]

# Sample output
# Sat Apr 27 14:36:22 2013
# Hour   digit 1 =  1
# Hour   digit 2 =  4
# Minute digit 1 =  3
# Minute digit 2 =  6
# Second digit 1 =  2
# Second digit 2 =  2
# .END
