The year value of the datetime object.
The month value of the datetime object.
The day value of the datetime object.
The hour value of the datetime object.
The minute value of the datetime object.
The second value of the datetime object.
The microsecond value of the datetime object.
Methods
__init__
(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond) -> None
Class constructor (initializer for the data type).
Returns the total number of seconds since the Unix epoch.
Returns the day of the week as an integer, where Monday is 0 and Sunday is 6.
__add__
(delta) -> datetime.datetime
+ operator for datetime objects.
delta
datetime.timedelta
requiredTimedelta to add to the current datetime.
__sub__
(delta) -> datetime.datetime
- operator for datetime objects.
delta
datetime.timedelta
requiredTimedelta to subtract from the current datetime.
__sub__
(other) -> datetime.timedelta
- operator for datetime objects.
other
datetime.datetime
requiredDatetime to subtract from the current datetime.
Static methods
utcfromtimestamp
(timestamp) -> datetime.datetime
Returns the UTC datetime corresponding to the POSIX timestamp.
strptime
(date_string, format) -> datetime.datetime

Datetime format. Supported codes: %Y, %y, %m, %b, %d, %H, %I, %M, %S, %p, %f, %z. See more details here.
time
type
Represents a time of day, independent of any particular day.
Fields
The hour value of the time object.
The minute value of the time object.
The second value of the time object.
The microsecond value of the time object.
Methods

__add__
(delta) -> datetime.datetime
+ operator for time objects.
delta
datetime.timedelta

__sub__
(delta) -> datetime.datetime
- operator for time objects.
delta
datetime.timedelta

timedelta
type
A timedelta object represents a duration, the difference between two datetimes.
Fields
The days value of the timedelta object.
The seconds value of the timedelta object.
The microseconds value of the timedelta object.
Methods
__init__
(days, seconds, microseconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours, weeks) -> None
Class constructor (initializer for the data type).
Returns the total number of seconds contained in the duration.
