What im trying to do:

Compare two datetime objects and print the results in minutes and seconds separately.

My code:

  def onJoin(self, room, user): #called when user joins the room
    user.entryTime = datetime.datetime.now()
    print("[i] %s joined the room!" % user.name)
  
  def onLeave(self, room, user):  #called when the user leaves the room
    try:
      user.exitTime = datetime.datetime.now()
      user.spentTime = user.exitTime - user.entryTime
      time = divmod(user.spentTime.days * 86400 + user.spentTime.seconds, 60)
      print('[i] %s spent %s in total.' % (user.name, time))
    except:
      print('[i] Where the fuck did %s come from? O.o' % user.name)  #if the user leaves without joining first.

And this is the result:

[i] tryhardhusky joined the room!
[i] tryhardhusky spent (0, 3) in total.

The first number is minutes, and the second is seconds.
This works fine, But would like the minutes and seconds to print separate.
Like this:

[i] tryhardhusky joined the room!
[i] tryhardhusky spent 0 minutes and 3 seconds in total.

I'm rather new to the datetime module, and really dont know how I would get this result
If anyone could help, It would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance />

This seems like more of a string formatting question than a datetime question, but this perhaps:

minutes,seconds = divmod(user.spentTime.total_seconds(), 60.0)
template = "[i] {} spent {:.0f} minutes and {:.2f} seconds in total."
print(template.format(user.name,minutes,seconds))

Thanks Mekire!
But I dont exactly understand how it works, Could you please explain a little detail?

Which part?

The divmod returns a 2-tuple so since what we really want is minutes and seconds, there's no need to put it in a single variable.

The str.format method finds "{}" in your string and replaces them with provided arguments. Various things can be placed within the brackets to control how the result is displayed.
