productivity-timer 1.0.2

A timer library for managing multiple timers for multiple individuals.

Productivity-Timer

Productivity-Timer is a Python library for managing multiple timers, one for each specified individual. It allows starting, stopping, pausing, resuming, resetting, and retrieving elapsed times for timers on a per-person basis. The library also supports optional timeouts, so timers can automatically stop after reaching a specified duration.

Features

• Start, stop, pause, resume, and reset individual timers.
• Track multiple timers for different individuals.
• Optional timeout support for automatic stopping.
• Retrieve formatted elapsed times for each person.
• Stop and reset all timers with a single command.

Installation

To install Productivity-Timer, use pip:

pip install productivity-timer 

Usage

Importing the Library

from productivity_timer import ProductivityTimer

Quick Start

from productivity_timer import ProductivityTimer

timer = ProductivityTimer()

timer.start("Abhishek", timeout=10) 

timer.start("Ram")

timer.pause("Abhishek")  

timer.resume("Abhishek")

timer.stop("Ram")

print(f"Elapsed time for Abhishek: {timer.get_elapsed_time('Abhishek', formatted=True)}")

timer.stop_all()

print(timer)

Available Functions

• start(person, timeout=None)
  Starts a timer for the specified person. If a timer for this person already exists, it resumes the timer. The timeout argument sets a maximum duration for the timer (in seconds).

• stop(person)
  Stops the timer for the specified person and updates the total elapsed time.

• pause(person)
  Pauses the timer for the specified person without resetting the elapsed time. The timer can be resumed later.

• resume(person)
  Resumes a paused timer for the specified person.

• reset(person)
  Resets the timer for the specified person to zero, clearing any elapsed time.

• get_elapsed_time(person, formatted=False)
  Returns the elapsed time for the specified person. If formatted=True, the time is returned as a formatted string in HH:MM:SS.

• get_all_elapsed_times(formatted=False)
  Returns a dictionary of elapsed times for all tracked persons. If formatted=True, times are formatted in HH:MM:SS.

• stop_all()
  Stops all active timers.

• reset_all()
  Resets all timers, clearing any elapsed times.

• check_timeouts()
  Checks each timer against its timeout value (if any). If a timer's elapsed time exceeds its timeout, the timer is automatically stopped.

Examples

Setting Up a Timer with a Timeout

timer.start("Abhishek", timeout=30)  

Checking and Stopping All Active Timers

timer.stop_all()

Formatting Elapsed Time

formatted_time = timer.get_elapsed_time("Abhishek", formatted=True)
print(f"Elapsed time for Abhishek: {formatted_time}")
