Working with datetime time and datetime object

>>> datetime.datetime.now()

datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 11, 21, 12, 36, 860592)

>>> datetime.datetime.now().time()

datetime.time(21, 12, 41, 511824)

>>> datetime.datetime.now().date()

datetime.date(2024, 8, 11)

>>> datetime.datetime.now()

datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 10, 11, 30, 45, 554555)

>>> datetime.datetime.now().year

2024

>>> datetime.datetime.now().month

8

>>> datetime.datetime.now().day

10

 Creating datetime.time object

time=datetime.time(23,59)

Getting hour

time.hour

23

Getting minutes   

time.minute

59

----------

Getting current datetime and time object

>>> datetime.datetime.now()

datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 8, 11, 37, 6, 478499)

Getting time  object

datetime.datetime.now().time()

datetime.time(11, 37, 34, 900228)

Getting hour

 datetime.datetime.now().time().hour

11

Minute

tetime.datetime.now().time().minute

39

Getting formated time object from the time object

datetime.time(23,59).strftime('%H:%S:%p')

'23:00:PM'

getting  same  hour and minute   but  from now date time object

datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%H:%S:%p')

'11:17:AM'

Creating an str list with time

>>> time= str(datetime.datetime.now().time()).split(':')

>>> time

['21', '03', '06.749331']

Other example

>>> datetime.datetime.now()

datetime.datetime(2024, 8, 11, 21, 7, 35, 295040)

>>> str(datetime.datetime.now())

'2024-08-11 21:07:46.766833'

>>> str(datetime.datetime.now()).split(" ")

['2024-08-11', '21:08:23.892977']

>>> str(datetime.datetime.now()).split(" ")[0]

'2024-08-11'

Calculating the missing days for dic

>>> dic=datetime.datetime(2024, 12, 1, 0, 0)

>>> dic-datetime.datetime.now()

datetime.timedelta(days=111, seconds=7993, microseconds=258309)
