ValueError: time data '24:00' does not match format '%H:%M'
Question: I'm having serious trouble converting 24 hour time to 12 hour.

    
    
    def standard_time(t):     
        t = datetime.strptime(t, "%H:%M")
        return t
    

When fed in `'24:00'` we get

    
    
    ValueError: time data '24:00' does not match format '%H:%M'
    

I also attempt converting using %I (12 hour) instead of %H, but get an error
whenever hours go over 12:

    
    
    def standard_time(t):     
        t = datetime.strptime(t, "%I:%M")
        return t
    

Sort of stuck...

    
    
    ValueError: time data '13:30' does not match format '%I:%M'
    

Does python have a simple 24 hour to 12 hour converter? Ideally 23:00 should
put out 11:00 PM and 24:00 should not throw an error!


Answer: You have to give `00:00` for `24:00`. Last count in 24 hour format is `23:59`
after that next value will be `00:00`.

Like if you have `23:59`, and add one more minutes in that

    
    
    >>> a = datetime(1900, 1, 1, 23, 59)
    >>> from datetime import timedelta
    >>> a + timedelta(minutes=1)
    datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 2, 0, 0)
    

You will get next date with `00:00`
