I'm trying to sort the content of a csv file by the given timestamps but it just doesn't seem to work for me. They are given in such a way:
2021-04-16 12:59:26+02:00
My current code:
from datetime import datetime
import csv
from csv import DictReader
with open('List_32_Data_New.csv', 'r') as read_obj:
csv_dict_reader = DictReader(read_obj)
csv_dict_reader = sorted(csv_dict_reader, key = lambda row: datetime.strptime(row['Timestamp'], "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z"))
writer = csv.writer(open("Sorted.csv", 'w'))
for row in csv_dict_reader:
writer.writerow(row)
However it always throws the error: time data '2021-04-16 12:59:26+02:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'
I tried already an online compiler at apparently it works there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If you use pandas as a library it could be a bit easier (Credits to: MrFuppes).
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv(r"path/your.csv")
df['new_timestamps'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamps'], format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z')
df = df.sort_values(['new_timestamps'], ascending=True)
df.to_csv(r'path/your.csv')
If you still have errors you can also try to parse the date like this (Credits to: Zerox):
from dateutil.parser import parse
df['new_timestamps'] = df['timestamps'].map(lambda x: datetime.strptime((parse(x)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'))
Unsure about the correct datetime-format? You can try auto-detection infer_datetime_format=True
:
df['new_timestamps'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamps'], infer_datetime_format=True)
Tested with following sample:
df = pd.DataFrame(['2021-04-15 12:59:26+02:00','2021-04-13 12:59:26+02:00','2021-04-16 12:59:26+02:00'], columns=['timestamps'])
