Hackerrank - Time in words

{CM} This is a good problem for testing a candidate's string and array management skills- this problem can reasonably be solved in 30 to 45 minutes. My solution here is quite verbose, but it works and it's easy to understand.

#!/bin/python3

import math
import os
import random
import re
import sys

# Complete the timeInWords function below.
def timeInWords(h, m):
    tiw = "None"
    sHours = ["zero","one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine","ten","eleven","twelve"]
    sMin = ["zero", "one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine",
            "ten","eleven","twelve","thirteen","fourteen","quarter","sixteen","seventeen","eighteen","nineteen",
            "twenty","twenty one","twenty two","twenty three","twenty four","twenty five","twenty six","twenty seven","twenty eight","twenty nine","thirty"]

if (m > 30):
        tx = (m-30)
        if (m==45):
            tiw = "quarter to "  + sHours[h+1]
        else:
            if (tx==1):
                tiw = "one minute to " + sHours[h+1]
            else:
                tiw = sMin[abs(30-tx)] + " minutes to " + sHours[h+1]
    else:
        if (m==15):
            tiw = "quarter past "  + sHours[h]
        else:
            if (m==1):
                tiw = "one minute past " + sHours[h]
            else:
                tiw = sMin[m] + " minutes past " + sHours[h]
    if (m==0):
        tiw = sHours[h] + " o' clock"
    if (m==30):
        tiw = "half past " + sHours[h]

return tiw
