: Today + 1 day and

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.
