Creating a basic alarm clock in Python involves using the `time` module to manage the
current time and the `playsound` library to play an alarm sound when the specified
time is reached. Here's a simple example of how you can create a basic alarm clock:
1. **Install the `playsound` Library:**
If you haven't already, you need to install the `playsound` library to play audio files.
You can install it using the following command:
```
pip install playsound
```
2. **Create the Alarm Clock:**import time
from playsound import playsound
def set_alarm(alarm_time, alarm_sound):
while True:
current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
if current_time == alarm_time:
print("Time to wake up!")
playsound(alarm_sound)
break
time.sleep(1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
alarm_time = input("Enter alarm time in HH:MM:SS format: ")
alarm_sound = "alarm_sound.mp3" # Replace with your alarm sound file path
set_alarm(alarm_time, alarm_sound)
```
Replace `"alarm_sound.mp3"` with the path to your chosen alarm sound file.
Make sure to provide the alarm time in the format `HH:MM:SS`.
3. **Run the Script:**
Run the Python script, and it will ask you to enter the alarm time in the specified format.
Once the specified time is reached, the script will play the alarm sound and display a
message.
Please note that this is a basic example, and you can enhance it further by adding features
like the ability to set multiple alarms, repeating alarms, or a more sophisticated user
interface. Additionally, you can explore other ways to play audio, such as using the
`pygame` library or other audio-related modules.
