How To Check If Time Is In The Range Between Two Days?

I found some nice examples to check, if a time is in a specific range, like this one: now_time = datetime.datetime.now().time() start = datetime.time(17, 30) end = datetime.time

Solution 1:

17:30 comes after 4:00, so anything with start <= x <= end will evaluate to false, because it implies that end (4:00) is larger than start (17:30), which is never true.

What you must do instead is check whether it's past 17:30 or it's before 4:00:

import datetime

now_time = datetime.datetime.now().time()
start = datetime.time(17, 30)
end = datetime.time(4, 00)
if now_time >= start or now_time <= end:
    print('true')
else:
    print('false')
