mysteriously nonfunctioning script - very simple

It does work for me:

>>> wakeuptime = (19,00)
>>> onehourlater = (20,00)
>>> lt = (18,59)
>>> not wakeuptime < lt < onehourlater
True

>>> lt = (19:01)
>>> not wakeuptime < lt < onehourlater
False

And localtime(time())[3:5] returns the desired timetuple. You're sure that's
not working?
