First you need to use the following module from the following library:

from datetime import datetime

Then just do it:

 now = datetime.now()

 print("%s:%s:%s" %(now.hour,now.minute,now.second))

output:

23:4:58

If you only want the time, just use now.hour and start it.

Would this be what you wanted?

Using the strftime() method with the format %H and returning string :

from datetime import datetime
obj = datetime.now()
hora = datetime.strftime( obj, "%H")
print(hora)

Using the hour attribute of the object datetime and returning a int :

from datetime import datetime
obj = datetime.now()
print(obj.hour)
