How do I convert a datetime.date obj into datetime.datetime obj, defaulting to midnight?

Answer 1

Use the datetime.combine method with an empty time instance:

dateobject = datetime.date.today()
datetime.datetime.combine(dateobject, datetime.time())

Alternatively, you can use the datetime.time.min constant:

datetime.datetime.combine(dateobject, datetime.time.min)

Both datetime.time() and datetime.time.min represent midnight (00:00:00).
