Python - time conversion

Use the datetime module to convert different time units

Python code

from datetime import timedelta  
  
a = timedelta(days=2, hours=6)  
b = timedelta(hours=4.5)  
c = a + b  
print(c.days)  
print(c.seconds)  
print(c.seconds / 3600)

Represents a specific date and time

Java code

from datetime import datetime  
a = datetime(2016, 8, 30)  
print(a + timedelta(days=10))  
b = datetime(2016, 9, 30)  
d = b - a  
print(d.days)  
  
now = datetime.today()  
print(now)  
print(now + timedelta(minutes=10))

The datetime module can correctly handle leap years

Java code

a = datetime(2012, 3, 1)  
b = datetime(2012, 2, 28)  
print((a-b).days)  
c = datetime(2013, 3, 1)  
d = datetime(2013, 2, 28)  
print((c-d).days)

Processing is more complicated For date issues, such as dealing with time zones, fuzzy time ranges, calculating holiday dates, etc., you can use the dateutil module
