Python Dates and Times in Python (2014) Dates and Times Time Tango

Format of date and time parameters unclear to complete time-tango challenge

For the Time Tango challenge, it's unclear what format string the date and time are in to complete the challenge, can this be clarified.

WIthout that knowledge, it's seemingly hard to correctly output a valid datetime object from methods like datetime.datetime.strptime and similar methods without more knowledge about the constraints of what format the date and time available will be in.

Similar to a previous challenge, hopefully Kenneth Love has an opportunity to chime in to this problem.

You don't need to worry about strings in this at all. Remember the combine() method that I talked about?

Ahhhhhh, thanks for clarifing this.
