Fetch the mxDateTime module.

>>> import DateTime
>>> DateTime.now() 
<DateTime object for '2000-09-04 13:58:07.02' at 809beb8>
>>> DateTime.now() + 2*DateTime.oneHour 
<DateTime object for '2000-09-04 15:58:22.50' at 809beb8>

or use the standard time module:

>>> import time 
>>> time.ctime(time.time())
'Mon Sep  4 14:00:36 2000'
>>> time.ctime( time.time() + 2*60*60 )
'Mon Sep  4 16:00:55 2000'

I'd use the former if you start fiddling with dates. Hours, minutes and 
seconds are simple enough for the latter.
