Question

Have error

ValueError: time data '2012-03-15 9:45:00 AM' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

How do convert to datetime? The problem is am/pm, the %I:%M:%S%p isn’t working for me.

I need the date to add it to time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", (0,0,0,8,56,0,0,0,0))

Edit Two: trying to use…

**

import time
from time import strftime
from datetime import date, time, datetime

**
These imports in this order cause a problem with

start_time= time.time()

start_time = time.time()
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.time' has no attribute 'time'

old edits……

datetime.combine(y='a date',z= 'a time')

y is datetime.date
z is datetime.time

y=datetime(t.year, t.month, t.day) this solved.

gives a problem.

z is datetime.time

datetime.combine(y, datetime.time(18, 54, 32))

error message………….

    a =datetime.combine(y, datetime.time(18, 54, 32))
TypeError: descriptor 'time' requires a 'datetime.datetime' object but received a 'int'

Answer 1

Concerning the update: you have a mess in imports from datetime module. The correct sample is:

>>> from datetime import date, time, datetime
>>> d=date(2012,10,01)
>>> t=time(10,11,12)
>>> datetime.combine(d,t)
datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 1, 10, 11, 12)
