Passing string to time
I'm taking 2 strings in the format hh:mm:ss to then calculate the time spent between them in the format days, hours, minutes and seconds.
I have already split and have the fields all separated into their own integer type variables, for example: hora_inicio, minuto_inicio, etc. However, I am having problem for the conversions minutes X hours, seconds x minutes, etc.
Has there any way I can "assemble" a variable of Type time with these my variables hora_inicio, minuto_inicio to so get easier the calculation of the past time?

Use the Class datetime of the dateTime package to create a date with time information:
from datetime import datetime
dataComHora1 = datetime(2018, 1, 29, 22, 35, 12)
You can do mathematical operations on objects datetime. Since you want the difference between two dates, use the subtraction:
diferenca = dataComHora2 - dataComHora1
With this resulting object, which is of type timedelta , you can extract the information you want (seconds, minutes, hours, total_seconds etc.)
