I can't figure out the correct second argument of strptime
for the following date format
a = datetime.strptime('2017-03-09 14:00:00.000000+0000', '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f+%z')
The error I get is:
ValueError: time data '2017-03-09 14:00:00.000000+0000' does not match format '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f+%z'
Could anyone help me out?
The correct format string is:
%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f%z
You can figure this out more easily next time by using strftime()
to write a datetime using a given format. For example, your original:
datetime.datetime.now().astimezone(tz=None).strftime('%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f+%z')
gives:
17-03-13 22:53:50.010314++0800
And from there it is fairly easy to see what's wrong.
