Datetime object- Extract the values - pyqt5

Question

Using QT designer i have a date and time object like below
How can i extract the time and date entered in this one by one, i.e
Hour = 03 (since it is AM)
Minutes= 00
Seconds = 00
Date = 01
month= 01
year=2000

Answer 1

You can use strptime() to convert strings to datetime objects.
from datetime import datetime
entry_date = "01/01/2000" # string from the first widget
entry_time = "3:00 AM" # string from the second widget
entry = datetime.strptime(entry_date + entry_time, "%d/%m/%Y%I:%M %p")
Then you access individual time and date components like this:
print(entry.year, entry.month, entry.day)
print(entry.hour, entry.minute, entry.second)
Output:
2000 1 1
3 0 0
If you need zero-padded values, use strftime() to convert datetime objects back to strings. For example:
print("Month =", entry.strftime("%m"))
print("Date =", entry.strftime("%d"))
Output:
Month = 01
Date = 01
See this table for all possible formatting tokens.
UPDATE:
(I assume you are using the widgets QDateEdit and QTimeEdit)
Suppose your widgets are called entryDate and entryTime. Then you would get the individual strings like this:
self.entryDate.date().toString("yyyy")
self.entryDate.date().toString("MM")
self.entryDate.date().toString("dd")
self.entryTime.time().toString("hh")
self.entryTime.time().toString("mm")
self.entryTime.time().toString("ss")
Here are the values to play with. (tested in PySide2 but this should work in PyQt5)
