Re: [Tutor] Time - sum/difference

I wanted to sum two time values: -02:30 +01:00 -- -01:30 I found one solution: >>> time_local = dt.time(2,30) >>> time_str = str(time_local).split(':') Now I'll can get the first value, convert to integer and sum it. Kent Johnson wrote: >Jon

[Tutor] Time - sum/difference

I would get the local time of a country, using UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and DST (Daylight SavingTime) of that country. An example, utc time -02:30 and dst +1 : country_utc = datetime.time(2,30) isUTCNegative = True dst = datetime.time(1,0) Now I would the difference of both times. -02:3
