How i can find the difference between two time stamps in minutes . for example:-
timestamp1=2016-04-06 21:26:27
timestamp2=2016-04-07 09:06:02
difference = timestamp2-timestamp1
= 700 minutes (approx)

Using the datetime module:
from datetime import datetime
fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
tstamp1 = datetime.strptime('2016-04-06 21:26:27', fmt)
tstamp2 = datetime.strptime('2016-04-07 09:06:02', fmt)
if tstamp1 > tstamp2:
td = tstamp1 - tstamp2
else:
td = tstamp2 - tstamp1
td_mins = int(round(td.total_seconds() / 60))
print('The difference is approx. %s minutes' % td_mins)
Output is:
The difference is approx. 700 minutes

`td = tstamp1 - tstamp2 if tstamp1 > tstamp2 else tstamp2 - tstamp1` for a one-liner – Radio Controlled Apr 13 '19 at 17:57

3`td_mins = int(round(abs((tstamp1 - tstamp2).total_seconds()) / 60))` if you just want to skip the if statements entirely – Kendall Trego Jun 19 '19 at 21:15
