Im not sure where ive gone wrong.

Why isn't working? Have i used datetime incorrectly here?

combo.py 
import datetime
def time_tango(date,time):
    new_time = datetime.datetime.strptime('date time', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')
    return new_time

Hi! It looks like date and time are not strings so using strptime in this way will not work (also you're not passing in the variables just a string with the words date and time). I think the challenge is hinting to use combine() to put the two together. Here are the docs on combine.
