title: Easiest way to combine date and time strings to single datetime object using Python
body: <p>I have a web form which has 2 input fields, "StartDate" and "StartTime".  I convert the <code>StartDate</code> field's string into a Python <code>datetime</code> object, no problem.  The <code>StartTime</code> field is passed in as a string in the form "0130" for 1:30am.  What is the best way to convert the <code>StartTime</code> string and combine it with the <code>StartDate</code> <code>datetime</code> object so that both are stored as a single <code>datetime</code>?  Any clues would be great!</p>
