time conversion

[flupke]

Is there an easy to convert following hour notation hh:mm
to decimals?
For instance 2 hours and 30 minutes as 2:30 to 2,50
I don't really know where to search for this kind of conversion.

Thanks,
Benedict

I found a way. Not sure if it's the best:

time = "2:3"
factor = 100.0/60.0

time_parts = time.split(":")
minutes = int(float(time_ parts[1]) * factor)
if ( len(str(minutes )) == 1 ): minutes *= 10 # to get 50 instead of 5
time_new = "%s,%.02s" % (time_parts[0],minutes)
print "%s -> %s " % (time,time_new)

you mean like
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> timestamp = "2:30"
>>> hour, minute = timestamp.split (":")
>>> print int(hour) + int(minute) / 60.0[/color][/color][/color]
2.5

?
