How to extract only time from datetime?

Question

I have datetime field called field1 there i am selecting date & time and i have another field called filed2 there it should display only fields1's time. How can we do this?
As of now i am displaying both date and time. Unable to display only time.

Code:
start_date: fields.datetime('Start Date')
start_time: fields.datetime()
start = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")
value['start_time'] = start.strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")
This will give o/p in datetime format.I need only time.

Hello Supreeth,
You have to convert the datetime of string into datetime format and then convert it into string by extracting time only:
from datetime import datetime
start_dt = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S") # convert into datetime fromat
value['start_time'] = datetime.strftime(start_dt, "%H:%M:%S") # convert into string format and extract time only

Hello Supreeth,
You can get time by:
*datetime.datetime.now().time()*
It will give you current time.
Thank You.

Got Solution,
start = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
user = self.pool.get('res.users').browse(cr, uid, uid)
tz = pytz.timezone(user.tz) if user.tz else pytz.utc
ran = pytz.utc.localize(start).astimezone(tz)
value['start_time'] = ran.strftime("%I:%M")
