How to add hours to current time in python

addition, python, time, timedelta

Solution

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

nine_hours_from_now = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=9)
#datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 3, 23, 24, 31, 774118)

And then use string formatting to get the relevant pieces:

>>> '{:%H:%M:%S}'.format(nine_hours_from_now)
'23:24:31'

If you're only formatting the datetime then you can use:

>>> format(nine_hours_from_now, '%H:%M:%S')
'23:24:31'

Or, as @eumiro has pointed out in comments - `strftime`

Problem

I am able to get the current time as below: ``` from datetime import datetime str(datetime.now())[11:19] ``` Result ``` '19:43:20' ``` Now, I am trying to add `9 hours` to the above time, how can I add hours to current time in Python?
