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

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

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
