Generate random HH:MM:SS using datetime-CodePudding

How can I generate a random HH:MM:SS time using datetime?

I get just 00:00:00 everytime

import datetime

print(datetime.time())
>>> 00:00:00

Try this:

import random
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

min_year=1900
max_year=datetime.now().year

start = datetime(min_year, 1, 1, 00, 00, 00)
years = max_year - min_year 1
end = start   timedelta(days=365 * years)

for i in range(10):
random_date = start   (end - start) * random.random()
print(random_date)

#done

# or a function
def gen_datetime(min_year=1900, max_year=datetime.now().year):
# generate a datetime in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000000
start = datetime(min_year, 1, 1, 00, 00, 00)
years = max_year - min_year   1
end = start   timedelta(days=365 * years)
return start   (end - start) * random.random()

Simplest answer I could think of. Thanks @deceze for inspiration.

import datetime
import random

print(datetime.time(hour=random.randint(0, 23), minute=random.randint(0, 59), second=random.randint(0, 59)))
