Check current time is between two times

Question

I am trying to check if the current time if between two predermined times and that the day is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Something like:

if day = monday, tuesday, wednesday or thursday
   if current_time > 6:00 PM and current_time < 6:15 PM
      then do something

Here is what I have so far, the only bit left is setting the two times I want to check between:

weekday = datetime.datetime.today().weekday()
hour = datetime.datetime.time(datetime.datetime.now())

if weekday < 5:
    if hour

Answer 1

You may use datetime.weekday() method and attributes: datetime.hour and datetime.minute.

now = datetime.datetime.now()
if now.weekday() < 5 and now.hour == 18 and 0 <= now.minute <= 15:
    do_something()
