Python Web Development Techdegree Student 4,175 PointsCode Challenge: Time Tango: my code is not passing the challenge even though I can get it to work in PyCharm.
The following is the code I am using...What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance
import datetime
def time_tango( user_date, user_time):
combine_time = datetime.datetime.combine(datetime.datetime.strptime(user_date,'%m-%d-%Y'),datetime.datetime.strptime(user_time,'%H:%M').time())
return combine_time

Try a more minimal approach, perhaps something like this:
combine_time = datetime.datetime.combine(user_date, user_time)

Thank you again
