Generate a week of minutes for fake log purposes

generateMinutesFromLastWeek.py

import datetime

now = datetime.datetime.now().replace(second=0, microsecond=0)
# I use replace method to round to second and microsecond, as datetime is inmutable

minutesInAWeek = 7 * 24 * 60 # 7 days in a week, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour

for i in reversed(range(minutesInAWeek)):
    minuteInThePast = now - datetime.timedelta(minutes = i)

    # microseconds in python are 6 digits, I "cut" the last 3
    timeText = minuteInThePast.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%f')[:-3]
    
    finalText = '[{timeText}] - ...'.format(timeText=timeText)
    
    print( finalText )
