Primary LanguagePython

Create a file every second

Write an app that will create 1 file every 1 second in current directory (where the script is located).

  • File name must be in the following format: app-{hours}_{minutes}_{seconds}.log.
  • File content must be a timestamp of this operation (example: 2007-06-29 13:49:40.059821).
  • The app must print to console timestamp and newly created file name when it completes file creation successfully.
  • The app must run forever until you terminate the process.

It can be relevant here to use:

  • datetime.now() from module datetime
  • sleep() from module time

Example:

# Output: 
# ...
# 2020-01-01 14:10:07.057405 app-14_10_7.log
# 2020-01-01 14:10:08.062182 app-14_10_8.log
# 2020-01-01 14:10:09.067101 app-14_10_9.log
# ...

with open("app-14_10_7.log", "r") as f:
    print(f.read())
# 2020-01-01 14:10:07.057405

Important: to import datetime use the following syntax:

from datetime import datetime

Do not use this notation:

import datetime
