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

Don t know how you want to format it  but you can do   print  Created at  s  s     t1 hour  t1 minute     for example

datetime has fields hour and minute  So to get the hours and minutes  you would use t1 hour and t1 minute   However  when you subtract two datetimes  the result is a timedelta  which only has the days and seconds fields  So you ll need to divide and multiply as necessary to get the numbers you need

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
