The user enters the full location of a file and the program determines whether the file is a sound file or an application and opens it after a user specified time.
Example:
Location: C:\Where ever\file.mp3
OR
C:\Another Where Ever\prog.exe
TIme(in mins): 10
import time
import subprocess
loc=raw_input("Enter the full location: ")
t=(input("Time(in minutes): "))*60
print t
def prog():
l=len(loc)
ext=loc[l-3:l]
if(ext=="exe"):
time.sleep(t)
subprocess.call(loc)
elif(ext=="mp3"):
time.sleep(t)
subprocess.call(["C:\Program Files\Windows Media PLayer\mplayer2.exe",loc])
prog()
NOTE: In line 16, replace the location of the media player I have entered with the location where the media player is installed in your computer.
HINT: You can also use this as an alarm! Just enter the location of a sound file and the time after which you want the alarm.
