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

datetime.replace() will provide the best options. Also, it provides facility for replacing day, year, and month.

Suppose we have a datetime object and date is represented as: "2017-05-04"

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> date = datetime.strptime('2017-05-04',"%Y-%m-%d")
>>> print(date)
2017-05-04 00:00:00
>>> date = date.replace(minute=59, hour=23, second=59, year=2018, month=6, day=1)
>>> print(date)
2018-06-01 23:59:59
