如何在python中将日期/时间字符串转换为经过的时间

Question

Using python, how does one convert a date/time retrieved from AWS to an elapsed time from present? Depending on the actual interval, I would like to display it as years ago, days ago, hours ago, or minutes ago. This "function" will be used in several scripts used to produce monthly audit data.

|Group Name               |Group Id             |Create Date              |
|=========================================================================|
|AWS-Consultants          |AGPAYPADVGQQQBEUBC6SN|2020-06-08 15:28:20+00:00|

Answer 1

I believe the easiest way that can be achieved is using the timeago library:

Answer 2

You can compute a timedelta:

from datetime import datetime,timezone
create = datetime.strptime('2020-06-08 15:28:20+00:00','%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z')
print(datetime.now(timezone.utc) - create)

Output:

417 days, 1:55:45.579676
