I have an instance of a class called, say, data.  I know I can create a
property, name, in the class as a string with self.name <http://self.name>  = '' which I can
then populate in an instance of my class with data.name <http://data.name>  = 'John'.  How do I
create datetime object, eg sunrise, so that in the code I can put
data.sunrise = datetime.strptime("05:45:00", "%H:%M:%S").  Self.sunrise = ?

 

Here's an example with default values for name and sunrise:

from datetime import datetime

class Data(object):
  def __init__(self, name="Nemo", sunrise="06:00:00"):
    self.name <http://self.name>  = name
    self.sunrise = datetime.strptime(sunrise, "%H:%M:%S")
  
data = Data()

print(data.name <http://data.name> )
print(data.sunrise)

data = Data("John", "05:45:00")

print(data.name <http://data.name> )

print(data.sunrise)
