I wanted to calculate the time duration between current time and specific time, but it keeps showing unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'datetime.time' and 'datetime.time', what does it mean and why I can't minus the time ?

current_time = dt.datetime.now().time()

FMT = '%H:%M:%S'
t1 = '10:33:26'
t1_obj = dt.datetime.strptime(t1, FMT).time()

tduration = current_time - t1_obj
print(tduration)

I have tried to look for it, but what I want is substract only the time, not date – May 15 '21 at 00:53

I used time() to get the time for now(), but I can't subtract it with other time – May 15 '21 at 00:54

TLDR: you can't subtract 2 times, you can only subtract 2 datetimes or subtract 2 timedeltas. – SuperStormer May 15 '21 at 00:55

alright thanks for letting me know that – May 15 '21 at 00:59
do you want delta in hh:mm:yy format? – Avinash_cdns May 15 '21 at 01:00
yes, but the problem with me is that I wanted to subtract only times, which cannot be done – May 15 '21 at 01:04
