How to extract hours and minutes from a datetime.datetime object?

Don't know how you want to format it, but you can do:

print("Created at %s:%s" % (t1.hour, t1.minute))

for example.

If the time is 11:03, then the accepted answer will print 11:3.

You could zero-pad the minutes:

"Created at {:d}:{:02d}".format(tdate.hour, tdate.minute)

Or go another way and use tdate.time() and only take the hour/minute part:

str(tdate.time())[0:5]

It's easier to use the timestamp for this things since Tweepy gets both

import datetime
print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(t1)).strftime('%H:%M'))
