Thanks to you, I could solve it.

like this

hour = datetime.now().hour
minute = datetime.now().minute

if minute >10:
    return str(hour)+str(minute)
else:
    return str(hour)+"0"+str(minute)

You can use .time() and slice its hour and minute part.

str(datetime.now().time())[:5].replace(':','')
# OUTPUT: '0951'

An int doesn't have leading zeros, or any other formatting property. It is just a number. If you want to include a leading zero, I recommend using string.

Use the hour and minute attributes and cast them to integer. 

 import datetime
    hour_now = int(datetime.datetime.now().hour) # for hour
    minute_now = int(datetime.datetime.now().minute) # for minute
