It is important to correctly use the datetime module in your program. Therefore, it is crucial to fully understand the meaning of each of the time formats that are commonly used. The datetime.utcnow() method will return the current UTC. An example of the format is 2020-06-03 13:08:44.408558. Now, look at another commonly used method, timedelta(). This method, after passing it some time parameters, will only return a time format with those parameters you passed. For example, if you code timedelta(hours=10), it will return 10:00:00. Notice the difference from the previous return value. The datetime method will display the exact time whereas the timedelta method will return the time that you specify. By failing to understand the format of these times, errors will arise when you are trying to compare or subtract the two times. Use the print() statement to help you better understand which time format is which. This well-organized and detailed book will give you all of the fundamentals regarding time usage and other python essentials. Check out this book on Amazon!
