How to add 5 hrs time to a datetime field

Question

Hi,

I have a datetime field named field_date1 in which I am selecting the date. I am having another field in which I should display a datetime which is 5 hours more than the seleccted time in field_date1. I defined an onchange function and in that I wrote the following line for doing the calculation.

date_field2 = date_field1 + timedelta(0,0,0,0,0,5,0)

As timedleta takes the parameters: timedelta([/days/[, /seconds/[, /microseconds/[, /milliseconds/[, /minutes/[, /hours/[, /weeks/]]]]]]])

Try This

DATETIME_FORMAT = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
date_field1 = datetime.strptime(date_field1, DATETIME_FORMAT)

date_field2 = datetime.strptime(date_field2, DATETIME_FORMAT)

date_field2 = date_field1 + timedelta(hours=5,minutes=30)
