pytimer

a thing i hacked together in 5 minutes when i needed something like a timer on my terminal and then decided to make it public

how to run this thing

make sure you have the musicalbeeps library installed, if not, run the command

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

to install the latest version i tested this thing in

or

$ pip3 install musicalbeeps

to install the latest version (NOTE: replace pip3 with your pip executable name).

and then run the script with whatever name is your python3 executable.

i tested this on python 3.9.5, but i'm pretty sure it works on python >= 3.5, the code is pretty basic.

arguments

currently there are only 2 optional arguments(excluding help) and 1 positional argument

usage: pytimer.py [-h] [--log LOG] [--repeat] time

positional arguments:
  time        time to wait in seconds, postfix with 'm' or 'h' for minutes/hours

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --log LOG   wheter or not to display time elapsed and stuff, takes the time between logs as an argument
  --repeat    when used makes the song at the end repeat until interrupted

how to specify time

you can specify the time for the timer in two different ways

• you can write it like: "hh:mm:ss", e.g. 1:2:3 or 01:02:03 but not 001:002:003
• or you can write a single number with a postfix, e.g. 10s = 10 = 00:00:10, 10m = 00:10:00, 10h = 10:00:00

yes it plays a little song when it's over so cute uwu
