Silly question, but is there a built-in method for converting a date to a datetime in Python, ie. getting the datetime for the midnight of the date? The opposite conversion is easy - datetime has a .date() method. Do I really have to manually call datetime(d.year, d.month, d.day)  ?

Is there a built-in method for converting a date to a datetime in Python, for example getting the datetime for the midnight of the given date? The opposite conversion is easy: datetime has a .date() method. 

Do I really have to manually call datetime(d.year, d.month, d.day)?

Edit: and the winner is:

datetime.combine(d, time())
