Question

I’m very new to django, maybe I’m asking something very elemental.

I have the following code :

crush.time = request.POST['time']

this ‘time’ post value is a timefield and I need to process as a time value, but all I got is that crush.time is a string, and then I got the following error when I try to process:

'unicode' object has no attribute 'hour'

Answer 1

Just use the Python datetime library to convert to a time object:

datetime.datetime.strptime(request.POST['time'], '%H:%M:%S').time()
