Yes. Read the manual to the re-module. There is _nothing_ special about
PyQt and regexes. And provide code. But the most important thing - read
this:

Maybe don't use a re for something that simple. Splitting at ``:``
characters, converting to `int` and checking the value ranges isn't that
hard without a regular expression.

Except that if a full regex is used, the pattern can be matched or
denied and pull out the important information simultaneously. Here's a
simple regex that would work:

(\d{1,2})\d{1,2})\d{1,2})

but here's one that works only for the 12 hour clock:

((1[012])|(0?\d))[0-5]?\d)[0-5]?\d)

and one for the 24 hour clock:

((2[0-4])|([01]?\d))[0-5]?\d)[0-5]?\d)

I hope this helps

I am trying to work out a regular expression in a PyQt
environment for time in hh:mm:ss format. Any suggestions?

After you find your time in hh:mm:ss format, be sure to check out
time.strptime for a quick conversion.
