This is a very simple post and i give you guys some more tips about libraries to expand your alarm application,if you have knowledge about any python GUI , You can easily convert this into a GUI application

Always the first things will be installing requirements
As i said this is a simple alarm so we choose simple libraries for this

At,First install a Library called playsound , to play the sound
the next thing is datetime module , which is built in python module,so there is no need to install it

Make a new python file , name the file any name you like!!
Import the modules
from playsound import playsound
from datetime import datetime

Make a function called alarm()

put current_state = False , which means now alarm is not ringing or the time to ring hasnt reached yet...

make a varieable and set the time you want to ring , Note write the time in String , also remember datetime module is in 24hr Format

Now make a while loop Like this

I explain what is happening here this loops works while the current state is at False , next we set a localtime , datetime.now() returns us current date and time , we strip the hour and minutes using strftime('%H:%M')
Now we make an IF statement
if the localtime is equal to the alarm time(which we set at the first) , it will print some text and with the playsound module it will play a music or something when the if statement is correct

type the path of that music in your computer as parameter for playsound function

That's it hope you liked this post
