Question

I want to trap values that are like this (in which there is not ‘time info’ on the datetime):

datetime.datetime(2009, 4, 6, 0, 0)

Is there a better way to detect these values other than testing hour/minute/second?

if value.hour == 0 and value.minute == 0 and value.second == 0:
     # do stuff

Answer 1

In Python 3.4 and earlier

The time method works here. Evaluates as boolean false if there’s zero’d-out time info.

if not value.time():
    # do stuff
