Hi @harry552,

@andfoy please take a look at this one

It seems this may be a bug in the implementation of https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/pull/12700

I think maybe moving this segment :
`` try: value.time() except ValueError: self.sig_editor_shown.emit() return None ```` after you checkisinstance(value, datetime.datetime)on [line 208](https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/blob/master/spyder/plugins/variableexplorer/widgets/collectionsdelegate.py#L208) should solve the problem ofdatetime.datenot having atime()` method
