How to convert a time string to seconds?

Question

I need to convert time value strings given in the following format to seconds, for example:

1.\'00:00:00,000\' -> 0 seconds

2.\'00:00:10,000\' -> 10 s         


        

Answer 1

def time_to_sec(time):
    sep = ','
    rest = time.split(sep, 1)[0]
    splitted = rest.split(":")
    emel = len(splitted) - 1
    i = 0
    summa = 0
    for numb in splitted:
        szor = 60 ** (emel - i)
        i += 1
        summa += int(numb) * szor
    return summa
