python script website blocker is not working even though the script compiles correctly
The code compiles fine and executes as its supposed to. But when I go to one of the websites in the list of website I created for websites that are supposed to be blocked, I am still able to go to that website. I can still go to www.facebook.com,even though its one of the five websites that my python script is supposed to block
import time
from datetime import datetime as dt
host_temp="hosts.txt"
host_path=r"C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts"
redirect="127.0.0.1"
website_list= ["https://www.facebook.com/","www.facebook.com","facebook.com","dub119.mail.live.
com","www.dub119.mail.live.com"]
while True:
if dt(dt.now().year,dt.now().month,dt.now().day,0)<dt.now()< dt(dt.now().year,dt.now().month,dt.now().day,23):
print("Working hours...")
with open(host_path,'r+') as file:
content=file.read()
# print(content)
for website in website_list:
if website in content:
pass
else:
file.write(redirect+" "+website+"n")
else:
with open(host_path,'r+') as file:
content=file.readlines()
file.seek(0)
for line in content:
if not any(website in line for website in website_list):
file.write(line)
file.truncate()
print("Fun hours..")
time.sleep(4)
And I run this code as an Administrator so I know thats not the problem:enter image description here

You need to use Windows line endings. Additionally note that the hosts file should include DNS entries, so facebook.com and www.facebook.com make sense, but URLs like https://.. don't.
