I wanted to change the minutes/hours of pythonic time.
I have a string of time start_time = "2013-09-30 14:12:08.024923". I want it to convert it to its ceil quater,half or full time, ie if I set interval as 15 I should get 2013-09-30 14:15:00.0000. If interval is 30, I should get 2013-09-30 14:15:00.0000
How can I change it?
Here is what I have tried.
start_time = "2013-09-30 14:12:08.024923"
start_time = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_time, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
interval = 15
ceil_to = (start_time.minute/interval) *interval + interval
start_time.minute = interval # throws error saying attribute 'minute' of 'datetime.datetime' objects is not writable
How do I achieve this?

You can't change a DateTime value - it's immutable. However, you can change the variable to have a new value. The easiest way of doing that to change just the time is to create a TimeSpan with the relevant time, and use the DateTime.
Copy the the contents of the code below to a file (I named mine "synctime.py"). Then, after the network is running, execute the script (e.g. "python synctime.py"). You will need to do this using elevated (root) privileges for this to work properly. import time import os try: import ntplib client = ntplib.
You can do this with replace:
start_time = start_time.replace(minute=ceil_to, second=0, microsecond=0)
