Keep Track of TIME

[otengkwaku]

this is a very simple app the helps yous to keep track of time. It says the time very 15 minits, by the way you can change it.

it uses pyttsx which can be dowloaded and install.
copy this code and save it as sayTheTime.pyw and double click it.
it also uses python2.7 you should also note that you have to start it every time the computer
reboots

try it and tell me what you think thanks

there is a bug in the code guys,
when the computer goes to sleep whiles the programe is runing, after you restore it gives you the time that it slept.

Hi guys i have solved the problem and the bug here is the correct code

Ok project,some advice or tips.
I would have have used datetime module and not wirte getMom function,because there are many dark spots
when trying to date stuff yourself.

>>> from datetime import date
>>> d = date.today()
>>> d.strftime("%B")
'April'
>>> d.strftime("%A, %d. %B %Y %I:%M%p")
'Sunday, 28. April 2013 12:00AM'

Many elif in getMom function,there are some way to shorten it.
Both list and dictionary is an option here.
Here a example with list and enumerate().

def get_month(m):
    m_lst = ['january', 'february', 'march']
    for index,month in enumerate(m_lst, 1):
        if m == index:
            return month

Test.

>>> get_month(1)
'january'
>>> get_month(3)
'march'
