I need so much help.
from datetime import timedelta
def minutes(datetime1, datetime2):
number_of_seconds = datetime2.total_second() - datetime1.total_second()
minutes = round(number_of_seconds / 60)
return minutes

import datetime
def minutes(datetime1, datetime2):
time_delta = datetime2 - datetime1
minutes = round(time_delta.total_seconds() / 60)
return minutes
I havent tested the above. But the key is that a datetime does not have an attribute totalseconds() a timedelta has. A timedelta is the difference between two dates or times in (days, minutes etc...) A

15,208 PointsI still don't understand what you're saying.

You first have to get a timedelta to use the totalseconds function. You can do that buy subtracting the datetimes
td = datetime1 - datetime2
you can then use the totalseconds on the timedelta
Hope that makes sense!!!
