In my task what I need to do is to subtract some hours and minutes like (0:20,1:10...any value) from time (2:34 PM) and on the output side I need to display the time after subtraction. time and hh:mm value are hardcoded
Ex:
my_time = 1:05 AM duration = 0:50 so output should be 12:15 PM
Output should be exact and in AM/PM Format and Applicable for all values (0:00 < Duration > 6:00) .
I don't care about seconds, I only need the hours and minutes.

To subtract time, subtract the minutes then subtract the hours. Since we can't have negative minutes, add 60 to the minutes and subtract 1 from the hours (60 minutes = 1 hour).
The formula for calculating elapsed time is elapsed time = end time – start time. Subtract the minutes and hours separately. For example to calculate the elapsed time between 12:10 and 16:40, subtract 12:10 from 16:4. Looking at the hours, 16 – 12 = 4 and looking at the minutes, 40 – 10 = 30.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta d = datetime.today() - timedelta(hours=0, minutes=50) d.strftime('%H:%M %p') This worked for me :
from datetime import datetime s1 = '10:04:00' s2 = '11:03:11' # for example format = '%H:%M:%S' time = datetime.strptime(s2, format) - datetime.strptime(s1, format) print time If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
