Create a new variable called two that holds the value of now with the hour set to 14. Use the .replace() method
import datetime
dir(datetime)
now=datetime.datetime.now()

Treehouse Guest TeacherOK, you have now set to .now(), but you need to do the rest of prompt and change the hour to 14.

9,348 PointsSince you have declared now as a variable that holds the outcome of datetime.datetime.now(), whenever you need to use datetime.datetime.now(), use now() instead. The .replace() method is being used to change/set the value of hour to a new entity, that is, 14. Therefore, .replace() is functioning within the now() variable.
This is what you should end up with:
import datetime
now = (datetime.datetime.now())
two = now.replace(hour=14)

6,212 PointsI'm totally stuck on the next step. Here's what I've got:
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
two = now.hour.replace(14)

6,212 PointsThanks, Kenneth, that totally worked. Is there a simple reason that we can access those things via dot notation but in this instance needed to use replace in that manner?

.replace()to write to them.
