How to sort a list of time values?

Question

I have a python list of time values that I extracted from a web log. I have the list in the format of %H:%M:%S. How would I sort the time values in ascending o

Answer 1

import time

sorted((time.strptime(d, "%H:%M:%S") for d in time_list), reverse=True)

Answer 2

sorted([tuple(map(int, d.split(":"))) for d in my_time_list])

Where each element in my_time_list is of the form you describe, for example:

>>> my_time_list
["03:12:08", "14:10:01"]

Answer 3

you should be able use the method sort(key=str.lower) since your time is parsed as a string

Answer 4

Just sorted(time_list) works fine.

>>> sorted(["14:10:01", "03:12:08"])
["03:12:08", "14:10:01"]
