time_tango test

import datetime

def time_tango(date, time):  #takes a date and time
    result = datetime.datetime.combine(date, time)  #combines date with time
    return result

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/dates-and-times-in-python/dates-and-times/time-tango

I searched python docs to help with the answer. https://docs.python.org/release/2.6/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.combine

Can anyone tell me what went wrong? Maybe I'm taking it too literal? maybe it's just one argument? I don't know the exact date and time so to use strftime or strptime is difficult.....unless i convert the two arguments to strings....hmm

Update! I got through with it thanks :)

Hi Isaac,

You need another datetime to reference the module name.

comb = datetime.datetime.combine(date, time)
