splitting time (h,m,s) from dataframe column

[dedaelfl]

Hi, I'm kind of new to python and I have been trying to split a time column in order to convert it all into a single unit but my splitting function does not work.

mydata= pd.read_excel("myclock.xlsx",sheet_name="mytime",skiprows=0, index_col = [1])

from datetime import time

:
try:
hours, minutes, seconds = time_str.split(":")
except ValueError:
return
return int(hours)*60+ int(minutes) + int(seconds)/60.0


Check_Out_Minutes = mydata['Check Out'].apply(time_to_minutes)

And it returns an attribute error
