output = root + '-new.csv'
with open(File,'r') as csvinput,open(output, 'w') as csvoutput:

    writer = csv.writer(csvoutput, lineterminator='\n')
    reader = csv.reader(csvinput)

    all = []
    row = next(reader)
    for line in reader:
        row.append(dt.datetime.strptime(line[0],'%m/%d/%Y %H:%M').time())
