How to extract hours and minutes from a datetime.datetime object?

Question

I am required to extract the time of the day from the datetime.datetime object returned by the created_at attribute. But I do not understand how to do that. This is my code

Answer 1

If the time is 11:03, then the accepted answer will print 11:3.

You could zero-pad the minutes:

"Created at {:d}:{:02d}".format(tdate.hour, tdate.minute)

Or go another way and use tdate.time() and only take the hour/minute part:

str(tdate.time())[0:5]
