Python datetime - setting fixed hour and minute after using strptime to get day,month,year

Question

I\'ve successfully converted something of 26 Sep 2012 format to 26-09-2012 using:

datetime.strptime(request.POST[\'sample_date\'],\'%

Answer 1

Use datetime.replace:

from datetime import datetime
dt = datetime.strptime('26 Sep 2012', '%d %b %Y')
newdatetime = dt.replace(hour=11, minute=59)
