Question

How do I get datetime from date object python?

I think of

import datetime as dt

today = dt.date.today()
date_time = dt.datetime(today.year, today.month, today.day)

Any easier solution?

Answer 1

There are a few ways to do this:

mydatetime = datetime.datetime(d.year, d.month, d.day)

or

mydatetime = datetime.combine(d, datetime.time())

or

mydatetime = datetime.datetime.fromordinal(d.toordinal())

I think the first is the most commonly used.
