Thanks Alessandro... I'll have to try that as well.
I have a modified working version of John's code (thanks John!). I'm able to output the bins by 5min intervals, sum one of the fields, and get the high and low of each field. So far I'm really happy with how it works. Thank you to everybody.
The only thing that I'd like to do, which I've been racking my brain on how to do in python... is how to keep track of the bins, so that I can refer back to them. For instance, if I wanted to get "binlo" from two bins back... in the scripting language I was working with (pascal based) you could create a counting series:
for binlo = binlo - 1 do begin
2binlosBack = (binlo - 2)
# if it was 12:00, I'd be looking back to 11:50
I would really appreciat if anyone could explain to me how this could be accomplished using python grammar... or perhaps some other method "look back" which I'm unable to conceive of.
Many thanks, Marcus
Just append the results to a list as you go: bins = []
for bin in ... # whichever method you use to get each new bin
bins.append(bin)Then refer to previous bins using negative index (starting at -1 for the most recent):
e.g., 2binlosBack = bins[-3]
