Method Name:
replace
Method Signature:
replace(hour=self.hour, minute=self.minute,
second=self.second, microsecond=self.microsecond,
tzinfo=self.tzinfo, * fold=0)
Method Overview:
The replace() method of a time instance, replaces only the attributes corresponding to the one or more specified parameters and returns a time instance.
Return Type:
datetime.time
Example1 – Replace hours of a time object:
|
import datetime
# Create a date object with today's date d1 = datetime.datetime.today() print("Today's date: {}".format(d1))
# Create a time object out of a date object t1 = d1.time() print("Only the time: {}".format(t1))
# Replace the time of t1 - set hours to 15 t2 = t1.replace(hour=15) print("New time: {} ".format(t2))
|
Output:
|
Today's date: 2017-02-16 20:47:24.807864 Only the time: 20:47:24.807864 New time: 15:47:24.807864 |
Example1 – Replace attributes of a time object with values of a tuple:
|
import datetime
# create a time object with time attributes set as zero t1 = datetime.time() print(t1)
# Create a tuple required for instantiating a time object timeTuple = (21,30,45,99999)
# Replace the 't1' time instance, with attributes coming from the tuple – using splat operator timeFromTuple = t1.replace(*timeTuple) print(timeFromTuple)
|
Output:
|
00:00:00 21:30:45.099999 |
