Use time mktime   to convert the time tuple  in localtime  into seconds since the Epoch  then use datetime fromtimestamp   to get the datetime object   from datetime import datetime from time import mktime  dt   datetime fromtimestamp mktime struct

This is not a direct answer to your question  which was answered pretty well already   However  having had times bite me on the fundament several times  I cannot stress enough that it would behoove you to look closely at what your time struct time object is providing  vs  what other time fields may have   Assuming you have both a time struct time object  and some other date time string  compare the two  and be sure you are not losing data and inadvertently creating a naive datetime object  when you can do otherwise   For example  the excellent feedparser module will return a  published  field and may return a time struct time object in its  published parsed  field   time struct time tm year 2013  tm mon 9  tm mday 9  tm hour 23  tm min 57  tm sec 42  tm wday 0  tm yday 252  tm isdst 0    Now note what you actually get with the  published  field   Mon  09 Sep 2013 19 57 42 -0400   By Stallman s Beard  Timezone information   In this case  the lazy man might want to use the excellent dateutil module to keep the timezone information   from dateutil import parser dt   parser parse entry  published    print  published   entry  published    print  dt   dt print  utcoffset   dt utcoffset   print  tzinfo   dt tzinfo print  dst   dt dst     which gives us   published Mon  09 Sep 2013 19 57 42 -0400 dt 2013-09-09 19 57 42-04 00 utcoffset -1 day  20 00 00 tzinfo tzoffset None  -14400  dst 0 00 00   One could then use the timezone-aware datetime object to normalize all time to UTC or whatever you think is awesome
