Hello ,
I think I'm missing something

I have a string and I want to make it a datetime object
I have found this

 StartDate = datetime.strptime(StartDate, '%d/%m/%Y-%H:%M:%S')

then I want to add to it 5 min

EndDate = StartDate + datetime.timedelta(minutes=5)

I'm using

from datetime import datetime
import datetime

but I get an error of :

AttributeError: module 'datetime' has no attribute 'strptime'

how can it be ?

when I remove the "import datetime" I get this error

AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'timedelta'

so what am I missing?

Thanks ,

This works

import datetime

test_date = '13/06/2021-11:11:11'
start_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(test_date, '%d/%m/%Y-%H:%M:%S')
print(start_date)
end_date = start_date + datetime.timedelta(minutes=5)
print(end_date)

Output:
2021-06-13 11:11:11
2021-06-13 11:16:11

Thank you!
