What you can do is just use datetime
as a module.
import datetime
import time
datetime.time()
datetime.time
class is used relatively rare compared to time
module therefore you could use a longer name for it:
import time
from datetime
import time as datetime_time
Return time object with same hour, minute, second, microsecond, fold, and tzinfo attributes. See also method time().,Return time object with same hour, minute, second, microsecond and fold. tzinfo is None. See also method timetz().,A combination of a date and a time. Attributes: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond, and tzinfo.,Conversely, the datetime.strptime() class method creates a datetime object from a string representing a date and time and a corresponding format string.

>>>
delta1 = timedelta(seconds = 57) >>>
delta2 = timedelta(hours = 25, seconds = 2) >>>

>>>

>>> delta2 > delta1

The Python datetime
module helps us handle time-related events like years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc. Although the most commonly used classes are DateTime
, Date
, Time
, Tzinfo
, and Timedelta
, to get other elements present in the Python datetime
module, run the following code:
import datetime
print(dir(datetime))
The datetime
class gives Python developers the ability to manipulate date and time. To use the datetime
class in our Python program, we need to import it from the datetime
module. Let’s write a simple Python program to print the time and date using the Python datetime
module:
from datetime import datetime # create a variable todays_date = datetime.now() print(todays_date)
from datetime
import datetime
date_in_string = ‘2021 - 11 - 19’
convert_date_to_object = datetime.strptime(date_in_string, ‘ % Y - % m - % d’)
print(convert_date_to_object)
To confirm that the output is an object, use the type
function by running the following code:
print(type(convert_date - to_object))
The strftime()
method converts DateTime
objects to strings. The code below illustrates how to use the strftime()
method in Python:
from datetime import datetime time_as_object = datetime.today() print(time_as_object) # to check the type use the code below print(type(time_as_object)) # convert time_as_object to string time_as_string = time_as_object.strftime(“ % Y - % m - % d % H: % M: % S”) print(time_as_string) # to add the milliseconds use. % f time_as_string = time_as_object.strftime(“ % Y - % m - % d % H: % M: % S. % f”) print(time_as_string) # check type print(type(time_as_string))
