This line:
str_time = datetime.strptime(Datetime, "%m/%j/%y %H:%M")
returns a datetime
object as per the docs.
You can test this yourself by running the following command interactively in the interpreter:
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('12/31/13 00:12', "%m/%j/%y %H:%M")
datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 31, 0, 12)
>>>
The time portion of the returned datetime can then be accessed using the .time()
method.
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('12/31/13 00:12', "%m/%j/%y %H:%M").time()
datetime.time(0, 12)
>>>
The datetime.time()
result can then be used in your time comparisons.
