convert seconds in list of dictionaries into hours, python-CodePudding

I'm trying to convert the seconds in my list of dictionaries into hours using the DateTime package from python. Eg.g instead of 'Duration': 745200 (seconds) I want 'Duration': 207:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds). Could someone help me with how to achieve this? Thank you!

id_duration = 
[{'Id': 44, 'Duration': 745200},
 {'Id': 45, 'Duration': 259200},
 {'Id': 58, 'Duration': 21600},
 {'Id': 61, 'Duration': 597600}]

CodePudding user response：

If you need just hours, you can try naive approach without DateTime package:

[{**x, "Duration": x["Duration"] // 3600} for x in id_duration]

CodePudding user response：

First of all start by importing the package

import datetime

Then let's define a function for that

def convert_duration(duration_list):
    for i in duration_list:
        i['Duration'] = datetime.timedelta(seconds=i['Duration'])
        i['Duration'] = i['Duration'].total_seconds()
        i['Duration'] = i['Duration'] / 3600
    return duration_list

Now let's test using the example you give

id_duration = [{'Id': 44, 'Duration': 745200}, {'Id': 45, 'Duration': 259200}, {'Id': 58, 'Duration': 21600}, {'Id': 61, 'Duration': 597600}]

print(convert_duration(id_duration))

[Out]: [{'Id': 44, 'Duration': 207.0}, {'Id': 45, 'Duration': 72.0}, {'Id': 58, 'Duration': 6.0}, {'Id': 61, 'Duration': 166.0}]
