How to create a DateTime equal to 15 minutes ago

Question

I need to create a DateTime object that represents the current time minus 15 minutes

User · Answer

I have provide two methods for doing so for minutes as well as for years and hours if you want to see more examples:

import datetime
print(datetime.datetime.now())
print(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(minutes = 15))
print(datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(minutes = -15))
print(datetime.timedelta(hours = 5))
print(datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days = 3))
print(datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days = -9))
print(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days = 9))

I get the following results:

2016-06-03 16:04:03.706615
2016-06-03 15:49:03.706622
2016-06-03 15:49:03.706642
5:00:00
2016-06-06 16:04:03.706665
2016-05-25 16:04:03.706676
2016-05-25 16:04:03.706687
2016-06-03
16:04:03.706716

If you are using time time   and wants timestamp as output  Simply use  CONSTANT SECONDS   900   time  in seconds  900 seconds   15 min   current time   int time time    time before 15 min   current time - CONSTANT SECONDS   You can change 900 seconds as per your required time
