time data '2019-06-02T16:19:27.000-04:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ'

Question

I am getting the error above when I do:

datetime.strptime(item['dt'], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")

Even if I try:

datetime.strptime(item['dt'], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")

I am getting unconverted data remains: -04:00 as my error.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

it's because you have 04:00 instead of 0400 for the utc offset...try this:

datetime.datetime.strptime('2019-06-02T16:19:27.000-0400', "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")

output:

datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 2, 16, 19, 27, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(-1, 72000)))

%z is expecting something like hhmm

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html - see format codes

Answer 2

根据datetime.strptime的格式代码，您应该使用%z来表示 UTC 偏移量：

datetime.strptime('2019-06-02T16:19:27.000-04:00', "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")
