Answer 1

to round forward you can use :

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def ceil_dt(dt, delta):
    return dt + (datetime.min - dt) % delta

now = datetime.now()
print(now)    
print(ceil_dt(now, timedelta(minutes=30)))

To round back to the nearest 30th minute

def rounded_to_the_last_30th_minute_epoch():
    now = datetime.now()
    rounded = now - (now - datetime.min) % timedelta(minutes=30)
    return rounded
