Given the string in this format "HH:MM", for example "03:55", that represents 3 hours and 55 minutes.
I want to convert it to datetime.time object for easier manipulation. What would be the easiest way to do that?

Using strptime() , date and time in string format can be converted to datetime type. The first parameter is the string and the second is the date time format specifier. One advantage of converting to date format is one can select the month or date or time individually.
To create a date, we can use the datetime() class (constructor) of the datetime module. The datetime() class requires three parameters to create a date: year, month, day.
Datetime dt = DateTime. parse('10/14/2011 11:46 AM'); String myDtString = dt. format(); system. assertEquals(myDtString, '10/14/2011 11:46 AM');
Let's use the strptime () method to convert a given string to a datetime object, as shown below: If the date string is changed to 'DD-MM-YY', the format has to be set to %d-%m-%Y.
This example uses the strptime () function of the datetime module. This function takes the date string (month, day, and year) as input and returns it as a datetime object. The previous Python code has created a new datetime object containing the date and time of our input string.
The pd.to_datetime (dt) method is used to convert the string datetime into a datetime object using pandas in python. To get the output as datetime object print (pd.to_datetime (dt)) is used. You can refer the below screenshot for the output: Now, we can see how to convert a string to datetime with timezone in python.
The pd.to_datetime(dt) method is used to convert the string datetime into a datetime object using pandas in python. Example: import pandas as pd dt = ['21-12-2020 8:40:00 Am'] print(pd.to_datetime(dt)) print(dt)
Use datetime.datetime.strptime() and call .time() on the result:
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('03:55', '%H:%M').time() datetime.time(3, 55) The first argument to .strptime() is the string to parse, the second is the expected format.

>>> datetime.time(*map(int, '03:55'.split(':'))) datetime.time(3, 55) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
