Convert date to datetime in Python

You can convert a date to datetime in Python using the datetime module. The datetime module has a class called date, which can be used to create a date object. To convert a date object to a datetime object, you can use the combine() function from the datetime module. Here is an example:

Convert date to datetime in Python

from datetime import date, datetime

# create a date object
date_object = date(2022, 12, 25)

# convert date to datetime
datetime_object = datetime.combine(date_object, datetime.min.time())

print(datetime_object)
# Output: 2022-12-25 00:00:00

<div class="alert alert-info flex not-prose"> <span class="hidden md:block">Watch a video course </span> Python - The Practical Guide</div>

In this example, the date(2022, 12, 25) creates a date object representing December 25th, 2022.

The datetime.combine(date_object, datetime.min.time()) function is used to combine the date object with the minimum time (00:00:00), creating a datetime object representing December 25th, 2022 at 00:00:00.
