I am not sure why it didn’t work for you but I tried and looks like working –

from datetime import datetime, date, time

task_due_hour_raw = "21:02" #I have just hard coded the value I recieved as a request parameter
task_due_hour_split = task_due_hour_raw.split(':')

print(task_due_hour_split[0])
print(task_due_hour_split[1])

task_due_hour = time(int(task_due_hour_split[0]), int(
    task_due_hour_split[1]), 0, 0)

print(task_due_hour)

I have a HTML form that takes the input as a hour format. Very simple:

<input type="time" name="due_hour" id="due_hour">

Then I try to convert it to a time format using datetime:

from datetime import datetime, date, time

Here are the first 2 lines of code to convert:

task_due_hour_raw = request.form['due_hour']
task_due_hour_split = task_due_hour_raw.split(':')

If I return f”{task_due_hour_split[0]}:{task_due_hour_split[1]}”, it does print an hour with the correct format, such as 10:00… So the data I try to push into a time type variable seems to be valid.

However, whenever I try to convert it at the last line:

task_due_hour = time(int(task_due_date_split[0]), int(task_due_hour_split[1]), 0, 0)

I get this error message:

ValueError: hour must be in 0..23

If that can be of any use, it’s part of a Flask project. The reason I’m doing this is to convert the data into a time variable so that I can use it in a SQL query to create a new line.
