uptime

[mellow furnace]

how do i get the uptime on the bot in a human readabale way (something like x days, y hours, z seconds)

[grave dirge]

use start_time = datetime.datetime.now() to save the start time and in your command do uptime = start_time - datetime.datetime.now()
this will return a timedelta object, check the docs for more infos

ight thx

[mellow furnace]

i dont get it

[grave dirge]

what you've done so far

[mellow furnace]

so i got the uptime

but how do i format it

[grave dirge]

-d datetime.timedelta

[onyx hinge]

datetime.timedelta

class datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)```
All arguments are optional and default to `0`. Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.

Only *days*, *seconds* and *microseconds* are stored internally. Arguments are converted to those units...

i have that

[grave dirge]

you could use the attrs of the object

[mellow furnace]

what attrs

[grave dirge]

attributes of the object

[mellow furnace]

i want something like this:

not -1

[grave dirge]

yeah just switch here and do
datetime.datetime.now() - start_time

[mellow furnace]

ok

[grave dirge]

that's coz present is greater than past (reasoning in numbers)

[mellow furnace]

now i get something like 0:00:08.791210

[grave dirge]

uptime.days -> 0
uptime.hours -> 00
uptime.minutes and so on

[grave dirge]

^

these are attributes of a timedelta object

[mellow furnace]

ok

whats the link to those discord timestamps thingies that change automatically?
