I have numerous UTC time stamps in the following format: 2012-04-30T23:08:56+00:00
I want to convert them to python datetime objects but am having trouble.
My code:
for time in data:
pythondata[i]=datetime.strptime(time,"%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00")
I get the following error:
ValueError: time data '2012-03-01T00:05:55+00:00' does not match format '%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00'
It looks like I have the proper format, so why doesn't this work?
Change the year marker in your time format string to %Y
:
time = '2012-03-01T00:05:55+00:00'
datetime.strptime(time, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00")
# => datetime.datetime(2012, 3, 1, 0, 5, 55)
I highly recommend python-dateutil library , it allows conversion of multiple datetime formats from raw strings into datetime objects with/without timezone set
>>> from dateutil.parser import parse
>>> parse('2012-04-30T23:08:56+00:00')
datetime.datetime(2012, 4, 30, 23, 8, 56, tzinfo=tzutc())
