from datetime import datetime, timedelta
nine_hours_from_now = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=9)
#datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 3, 23, 24, 31, 774118)
And then use string formatting to get the relevant pieces:
>>> '{:%H:%M:%S}'.format(nine_hours_from_now)
'23:24:31'
If you're only formatting the datetime then you can use:
>>> format(nine_hours_from_now, '%H:%M:%S')
'23:24:31'
Or, as @eumiro has pointed out in comments - strftime
