I get a this error when running scrapy spider ——> ValueError: time data '2022-10-10T13:00:00-07:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z'

Question

When I run the scrapy spider on my local computer it works perfectly. However, when I run it pyhonanywhere's bash terminal I get the following error.

ValueError: time data '2022-10-10T13:00:00-07:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z

I'm not sure what the problem is as the format looks correct to me. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

Try Removing the last colon in the timezone should be all you need. Python didn't add support for the colon until 3.7 so maybe it's running an older version....

'2022-10-10T13:00:00-0700'

%z

UTC offset in the form ±HHMM[SS[.ffffff]] (empty string if the object is naive).

examples: +0000 , -0400 , +1030 , +063415 , 030712.345216
