The difference between two datetime objects is a timedelta object. https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#timedelta-objects . It has a total_seconds() method.
This is a simple task, unless one of the datetimes has a time zone specified and the other doesn’t.

Use caution responding, opening attachments or clicking on links. *** my approach would be to convert your two date/times to seconds from epoch - e.g. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/convert-python-datetime-to-epoch/__;!!Cn_UX_p3!hBXQeMkZ3QYS6BI0yTHsADseWTXcDXOhKFkg35NnRMicvYQvwLo9c_ihSaTrG60LywsKQm6UNd7mAAYr$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.geeksforgeeks.org/convert-python-datetime-to-epoch/__;!!Cn_UX_p3!hBXQeMkZ3QYS6BI0yTHsADseWTXcDXOhKFkg35NnRMicvYQvwLo9c_ihSaTrG60LywsKQm6UNd7mAAYr$> - then subtract the number, divide the resultant by 3600 (hours) & get the modulus for minutes. There's probably a standard function - it should be /very/ easy to do. - Marc On 12/12/2022 5:01 pm, Steve GS wrote: > How do I subtract two time/dates and calculate the hours and minutes > between? > Steve > -- https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!hBXQeMkZ3QYS6BI0yTHsADseWTXcDXOhKFkg35NnRMicvYQvwLo9c_ihSaTrG60LywsKQm6UNSbh5q0S$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!hBXQeMkZ3QYS6BI0yTHsADseWTXcDXOhKFkg35NnRMicvYQvwLo9c_ihSaTrG60LywsKQm6UNSbh5q0S$> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
