Easiest way to combine date and time strings to single datetime object using Python

Question

I have a web form which has 2 input fields, \"StartDate\" and \"StartTime\". I convert the StartDate field\'s string into a Python datetime object

Answer 1

If you can load the time into a datetime.time, you can use the following code

import datetime

dt = datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 12)
tm = datetime.time(1, 30)

combined = dt.combine(dt, tm)

print(combined)

Output

2012-02-12 01:30:00
