Get part of day (morning, afternoon, evening, night) in Python3.6+

part_of_day.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3


def get_part_of_day(h):
    return (
        "morning"
        if 5 <= h <= 11
        else "afternoon"
        if 12 <= h <= 17
        else "evening"
        if 18 <= h <= 22
        else "night"
    )


# To use current hour:
# from datetime import datetime
# part = get_part_of_day(datetime.now().hour)
# print(f"Have a good {part}!")


for hour in range(0, 24):
    part = get_part_of_day(hour)
    print(f"hour {hour} is {part}")

I think the official time to say "evening" in this part of the world is 19:00. Just an opinion.

Then again, this varies a lot it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening
