Python Alarm Clock with Voice Alerts and Email Notification

This article introduces a simple yet functional Python alarm clock project aimed at helping users avoid oversleeping and even delivering humorous resignation or breakup messages.

It begins by listing the required modules:

<code>import time
from datetime import datetime
from playsound import playsound  # plays the alarm sound
import pyttsx3  # text‑to‑speech engine</code>

The user is prompted to set the alarm time and period (AM/PM):

<code>alarm_time = input("输入要设置的闹钟时间:HH:MM:SS\n")
alarm_period = input("请输入要设置的时期（AM或PM):\n")
alarm_hour = alarm_time[0:2]  # hour
alarm_minute = alarm_time[3:5]  # minute
alarm_seconds = alarm_time[6:8]  # second
alarm_period = alarm_period.upper()
print("设置成功正在运行，祝您休息愉快....zzZZ..")</code>

After the alarm is set, a loop continuously checks the current time and triggers the alarm when the hour, minute, second, and period match the user’s settings:

<code>while flag:
    now = datetime.now()
    current_hour = now.strftime("%I")
    current_minute = now.strftime("%M")
    current_seconds = now.strftime("%S")
    current_period = now.strftime("%p")
    if alarm_period == current_period:
        if alarm_hour == current_hour:
            if alarm_minute == current_minute:
                if alarm_seconds == current_seconds:
                    print("Wake Up！！！")
                    playsound('1.mp3')
                    if int(now.strftime("%M")) - int(alarm_minute) == 10:
                        playsound('1.mp3')
                        time.sleep(60)
                        pp.say('还不醒？那你可别怪我了都是为你好呀。这就去帮你辞职！哈哈哈哈')
                        pp.runAndWait()</code>

For a more dramatic effect, the script can send an email using Python’s SMTP library. First, the SMTP module is imported and its usage explained:

<code>import smtplib
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP(host, port, local_hostname)</code>

The email‑sending function creates a MIME text message, sets the sender, recipient, and subject, then connects to QQ’s SMTP server over SSL to deliver the message:

<code>def mail():
    try:
        msg = MIMEText('想睡觉，不干了', 'plain', 'utf-8')
        msg['From'] = formataddr(["我是肥学，老子干了", my_sender])
        msg['To'] = formataddr(["肥学", my_user])
        msg['Subject'] = "辞职报告"
        server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.qq.com", 465)
        server.login(my_sender, my_pass)
        server.sendmail(my_sender, [my_user], msg.as_string())
        server.quit()
        return True
    except Exception:
        return False

if mail():
    print("邮件发送成功")
else:
    print("邮件发送失败")</code>
