I'm working on a Selenium project. I in a stage where I'm able to extract the data from a table and formatted the last seen date to i.e. 04-07-25 (%m-%d-%y). What I need to do is to compare this with the current date. Screenshot of the page I was able convert the datetime.now to <class 'datetime.time'> but the fetched last seen date is still showing up as a string using the same method bellow. To be able to compare them I need to bring the two variables to the same class. current_time = datetime.now() # current time now= current_time.strftime("%m-%d-%y") print(now) ntime = datetime.strptime(now, "%m-%d-%y").time() print(type(ntime)) for t in table: last_seen_month = str(t.text[0:1]).zfill(2) last_seen_day = str(t.text[2:3]).zfill(2) last_seen_year = t.text[4:6] last_seen_date = last_seen_month + "/" + last_seen_day + "/" + last_seen_year last_seen_date = last_seen_date.replace("/","-") print(f'This is the last seen date:{last_seen_date}') l_seen = datetime.strptime(last_seen_date, "%m-%d-%y").time() print(type(l_seen)) print(l_seen) ntime is ok. Gives back 04-08-25 <class 'datetime.time'> but the for cycle doesn't work because it shows up as 00:00:00 This is the last seen date:04-08-25 <class 'str'> <class 'datetime.time'> 00:00:00 Obviously there is a more neater and tidier way to do this but I'm not a black belt programmer just an enthusiast who wants something to achieve. Thanks for any answres Continue reading...
