Help on Flagging Timestamps

[Daring_T]

Hi, I was trying to flag timestamps that increment but 1,but cannot be more than 3 matches and not '0:00:00' or '0:00:01', lastly flag the highest out of 3 or 2 matches.

Any ideas on how solve this issue would be amazing .

This is what I have so far:

This is the TS class:

from datetime import timedelta

class TS():
    '''This class + and - timestamps hr:min:sec'''

    def __init__(self, input_TS):
        self.input_TS = str(input_TS)

        if input_TS == None:
            input_TS = "0:00:00"
        hours, minute, seconds = input_TS.split(":")
        self.hours = int(hours)
        self.minute = int(minute)
        self.seconds = int(seconds)
        self.TS = timedelta(hours=self.hours,
                            minutes=self.minute,
                            seconds=self.seconds)

    def __add__(self, other):
        return str(self.TS + other.TS)

    def __sub__(self, other):
        return str(self.TS - other.TS)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.input_TS

    def __repr__(self):
        return repr(self.TS)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("TS.py File")

Main Script:

from TS import TS

raw_TS_list = ['0:00:00', '0:00:01', '0:02:25', '0:02:26', '0:02:27',
 '0:02:28', '0:02:29', '0:02:30', '0:02:31', '0:11:39',
 '0:11:40', '0:22:10', '0:22:11', '0:35:06', '0:35:07',
 '0:35:08', '0:43:12', '0:43:18', '0:43:20', '0:43:22',
 '0:43:23', '0:43:26', '0:45:28', '0:45:29', '0:45:57',
 '0:45:58']

def remove_duplicates(input_list):
    print('Removing Duplicates...')
    cleaned_list = list(set(input_list))
    return sorted(cleaned_list)

def ts_parsing(input_list):
    not_a_TS_list = {'0:00:00', '0:00:01'}
    ts_old  = None

    for ts in remove_duplicates(input_list):
        if ts not in not_a_TS_list:
            if TS(ts) - TS(ts_old) == "0:00:01":
                    print(f"most likely: {repr(ts)}")
            else:
                print(f"{repr(ts_old)}")
        ts_old = ts

        print(repr(ts))

This is the output:

Output:

'0:00:01'

'0:45:29'
'0:45:29'
'0:45:57'
most likely: '0:45:58'
'0:45:58'

This what it should look like,,

Output:

I don't think your intent is clearly stated.

Why should 0:02:26 not appear as a "most likely"?

It shouldn't appear because the number of matches should be >= 3.
Why 3?, because this function is going to be used in finding chapter timestamps
and 3 or less seconds is usually chapter timestamps.
