How i can find the difference between two time stamps in minutes . for example:-
timestamp1=2016-04-06 21:26:27
timestamp2=2016-04-07 09:06:02
difference = timestamp2-timestamp1
= 700 minutes (approx)

timedelta() method. To find the difference between two dates in Python, one can use the timedelta class which is present in the datetime library. The timedelta class stores the difference between two datetime objects.
Discussion: If you'd like to calculate the difference between the timestamps in seconds, multiply the decimal difference in days by the number of seconds in a day, which equals 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 , or the product of the number of hours in a day, the number of minutes in an hour, and the number of seconds in a minute.
Using the datetime module:
from datetime import datetime
fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
tstamp1 = datetime.strptime('2016-04-06 21:26:27', fmt)
tstamp2 = datetime.strptime('2016-04-07 09:06:02', fmt)
if tstamp1 > tstamp2:
td = tstamp1 - tstamp2
else:
td = tstamp2 - tstamp1
td_mins = int(round(td.total_seconds() / 60))
print('The difference is approx. %s minutes' % td_mins)
Output is:
The difference is approx. 700 minutes
