How to Get the Current Time with the datetime Module. To get the current time in particular, you can use the strftime() method and pass into it the string ”%H:%M:%S” representing hours, minutes, and seconds.
Round time to nearest hour ( TIME(1,0,0) = 1/24 representing an hour) and add a zero time value to ensure the expression is cast as a Time. M: There isn't an equivalent of MROUND in M, so instead multiply the time by 24 to express it as a number of hours, then round, then divide by 24 and convert to a Time type.
Date doesn't have the hour - use datetime:
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
last_hour_date_time = datetime.now() - timedelta(hours = 1)
print(last_hour_date_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
This works for me:
import datetime
lastHourDateTime = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(hours = 1)
print(lastHourDateTime.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H'))
# prints "2011-09-28 12" which is the time one hour ago in Central Europe
