Getting a lists of times in Python from 0:0:0 to 23:59:59 and then comparing with datetime values -

i working on code generate time entire day 30 second intervals. tried using dt.datetime , dt.time end either datetime value or timedelta value (0,2970). can please tell me how this.

so need list has data like:

[00:00:00] [00:00:01] [00:00:02]

till [23:59:59] , needed compare against datetime value 6/23/2011 6:38:00 am.

thanks!

is there reason want use datetimes instead of 3 loops counting up? similarly, want fancy or want compare against time? if don't need account leap seconds or that, easy way.

import datetime  = datetime.datetime.now()  h in xrange(24):     m in xrange(60):         s in xrange(60):            time_string = '%02d:%02d:%02d' % (h,m,s)            if time_string == now.strftime('%h:%m:%s'):                print 'you found it! %s' % time_string 

can give more info why doing this? seems much better off parsing datetimes or using strftime need instead of looping through 60*60*24 times.
