Question

Please can someone advise on this, I’ve tried various methods but don’t seem to be able to get it to work.

I just need a countdown from

datetime.now()

to

datetime(2011,05,05)

in days hours

Answer 1

You can use

delta = datetime.datetime(2011, 5, 5) - datetime.datetime.now()

to get a datetime.timedelta object describing the remaining time. The number of remaining days is delta.days, the remaining hours delta.seconds/3600. or delta.seconds//3600.
