How to add hours and minutes between them

I want to do something like 2h35 + 0h56 in python. So this is what I tried : 

>>> t1 = time(2, 35)
>>> t2 = time(0, 56)
>>> t3 = t1 + t2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'datetime.time' and 'datetime.time'

How can I add times on a time in Python ? All the subjects on Stackoverflow ask for add times on a date, but I just need time no date!

Thanks for your help

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

if __name__ == '__main__':

    t1 = datetime(year=2015, day=19, month=9, hour=2, minute=35)
    t2 = t1 + relativedelta(minutes=56)

    print(t2.strftime('%H:%m'))

You must specify a real date, but in your case, you are only interested in the hours and minutes, so you can just print them using strftime.

datetime.time represents absolute times and it doesn't make any sense to add e.g. 2:35 + 0:56.

See python time + timedelta equivalent. The solution there might help you.
