2,977 PointsI've attempted writing this function 2 different ways and both ways fail in the challenge task, but pass in PyCharm
Both of these functions work in PyCharm but fail in the challenge on Treehouse
from datetime import datetime
def time_tango(date1, time1):
dt = datetime.strptime(f'{date1} {time1}', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
return dt
from datetime import datetime, date, time
def time_tango(date1, time1):
year = date1.year
month = date1.month
day = date1.day
hour = time1.hour
minute = time1.minute
seconds = time1.second
dt = datetime(year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds)
return dt
from datetime import datetime
def time_tango(date1, time1):
dt = datetime.strptime(f'{date1} {time1}', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
return dt

For your case, import just the top level module datetime then use datetime.datetime
Also fixed to include microsecond
This fails:
#import datetime
from datetime import datetime
def time_tango(date1, time1):
year = date1.year
month = date1.month
day = date1.day
hour = time1.hour
minute = time1.minute
seconds = time1.second
microsecs = time1.microsecond # ADD
# calling class directly
dt = datetime(
year, month, day, hour,
minute, seconds, microsecs)
return dt
This passes 👍
import datetime
# from datetime import datetime, date, time
def time_tango(date1, time1):
year = date1.year
month = date1.month
day = date1.day
hour = time1.hour
minute = time1.minute
seconds = time1.second
microsecs = time1.microsecond # ADD
# calling through module namespace
dt = datetime.datetime(
year, month, day, hour,
minute, seconds, microsecs)
return dt
Marking as feedback to devs.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

2,977 PointsI realized I was leaving out the purpose of this assignment which was to use combine()
Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 68,468 PointsPerhaps so, but the combine method is not “required” to pass.
