from datetime import datetime
today = datetime.today()
random_date = datetime(2022, 6, 19, 12, 37, 54)
time = today - random_date
print(time.hours)
How do I find how many hours have passed since random_date in this code?

Does the code you provided not do what you describe? – esqew Aug 20 '22 at 00:35

1Your `time` value is a `timedelta`. Check out the docs for this class to get details about how to use it. – Code-Apprentice Aug 20 '22 at 00:39

If I understood correctly, you may want to do this:
from datetime import datetime
today = datetime.today()
random_date = datetime(2022, 6, 19, 12, 37, 54)
time = today - random_date
# Use x2 slashes '//' in the division in order to get
# an exact value
print(time.total_seconds() / 3600)
Source: How do I convert datetime.timedelta to minutes, hours in Python?
Datetime docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html
Note: You can also use x2 slashes '//' in the division in order to round the number to floor.

1For future reference, feel free to edit your original answer and undeleting it instead of posting a new answer. You may also want to include a version that uses `/` and explain the difference between `/` and `//`. – Code-Apprentice Aug 20 '22 at 00:41
