Automatically log your office hours with Python

At work I need to fill in my office hours into a website. Sometimes I forget. By running a python script on login and logoff my office hours are written to a txt file.

How to use:

1. Clone this project to any folder.
2. Run gpedit.msc
3. User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
4. Logon, Properties, Scripts, Add...
5. Choose logon.bat in repository folder
6. Do the same for logoff but choose logoff.bat

Output

For every logon and logoff, an entry is added to office_hours.txt (created in the same folder as the Python script)

Example from office_hours.txt:

IN  2016-02-19 08:13:12
OUT 2016-02-19 17:17:53
IN  2016-02-20 09:01:05
OUT 2016-02-20 16:31:56

Known issues:

Windows 8.1 has 5 minutes logon scripts delay. That's not critical for our case but for exact statistics we need to change this.

1. Run gpedit.msc
2. Open Configure Group Policy
3. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy > Configure Logon Script Delay
4. Set Disabled
