Subtract Minutes from Datetime.Time - tkj80 - May-09-2017 Hi, I have a datetime.time object such as: update_Dt.time() How do I subtract 5 minutes from the update_Dt.time() object?I tried: update_Dt.time() - timedelta(minutes=15)I got the error message saying that: Thank you
RE: Subtract Minutes from Datetime.Time - zivoni - May-11-2017 timedelta works with datetime.datetime , so you need to add it directly to update_Dt and after that use .time() to get time part only (supposing that your update_Dt is a datetime):(update_Dt - timedelta(minutes=15)).time()If you have only datetime.time object to start with, you need to convert it to a datetime.datetime, add timedelta and convert back:In [1]: import datetime In [2]: my_time = datetime.time(21, 30) In [3]: (datetime.datetime.combine(datetime.date(1, 1, 1), my_time) - datetime.timedelta(minutes=15)).time() Out[3]: datetime.time(21, 15) RE: Subtract Minutes from Datetime.Time - klllmmm - May-11-2017 import datetime as dt update_Dt=dt.datetime.now() update_Dt.time() Out[9]: datetime.time(15, 24, 2, 737247) newupdate_Dt = update_Dt - dt.timedelta(minutes=15) newupdate_Dt.time() Out[11]: datetime.time(15, 9, 2, 737247) |
