The following condition does not work, any idea? Does Python think that 8am belongs to the same day and so this condition is not possible?

from datetime import datetime, time
now = datetime.now()
now_time = now.time()
if now_time >= time(23,00) and now_time <= time(8,00): 
    try:
        print 'hall light turning on'
    except:
        print 'Could not connect to Hue gateway'
if-statement time python

you could simplify it to this

if time(8, 00) <= now_time >= time(18, 00):

the full code below

from datetime import datetime, time
now = datetime.now()
now_time = now.time()
if time(8, 00) <= now_time >= time(18, 00):
    try:
        print("hall light turning on")
    except:
        print("Could not connect to Hue gateway")
