How to convert Python's .isoformat() string back into datetime object [duplicate]
Python 3.7+
As of Python 3.7 there is a method datetime.fromisoformat() which is exactly the reverse for isoformat().
Older Python
If you have older Python, then this is the current best "solution" to this question:
pip install python-dateutilThen...
import datetimeimport dateutildef getDateTimeFromISO8601String(s): d = dateutil.parser.parse(s) return d
Try this:
>>> def gt(dt_str):... dt, _, us = dt_str.partition(".")... dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(dt, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")... us = int(us.rstrip("Z"), 10)... return dt + datetime.timedelta(microseconds=us)Usage:
>>> gt("2008-08-12T12:20:30.656234Z")datetime.datetime(2008, 8, 12, 12, 20, 30, 656234)
