Looking at this, it looks a little silly to me displaying elapsed time in seconds over timespans that cover days or even weeks, so remembering a function I recently developed for summing timespans in power tables, I figured it could be easily applied to this as well. If the following function is added to the above script:
def format_time(timestamp):
days = int(timestamp / 86400)
hours = int((timestamp % 86400) / 3600)
minutes = int((timestamp % 3600) / 60)
seconds = int(timestamp % 60)
output = []
if days > 0:
output.append(str(days) + 'd')
if hours > 0:
output.append(str(hours) + 'h')
if minutes > 0:
output.append(str(minutes) + 'm')
if seconds > 0:
output.append(str(seconds) + 's')
return ' : '.join(output) if output else '0s'
and the timeDiff = line is changed from str((float(endDate) - float(startDate)) / 1000) to format_time((float(endDate) - float(startDate)) / 1000)
The result will look like this:
Edit: added missing return statement to function
