Fix Python – time data does not match format

by

I get the following error:
time data ’07/28/2014 18:54:55.099000′ does not match format ‘%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f’

But I cannot see what parameter is wrong in %d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f ?
This is the code I use.
from datetime import datetime
time_value = datetime.strptime(csv_line[0] + ‘000’, ‘%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f’)

I have added and removed the 000 but I ….

Fix Python – Parsing non-zero padded timestamps in Python

by

I want to get datetimes from timestamps like the following :3/1/2014 9:55 with datetime.strptime, or something equivalent.
The month, day of month, and hour is not zero padded, but there doesn’t seem to be a formatting directive listed here that is able to parse this automatically.
What’s the best approach to do so? Thanks!

tzinfo=pytz.timezone(‘Israel’))

I want to find an automatic tool that would replace thetzinfo=pytz.timezone(‘Israel’) wi….

Fix Python – How to convert a timezone aware string to datetime in Python without dateutil?

by

I have to convert a timezone-aware string like “2012-11-01T04:16:13-04:00” to a Python datetime object.
I saw the dateutil module which has a parse function, but I don’t really want to use it as it adds a dependency.
So how can I do it? I have tried something like the following, but with no luck.
datetime.datetime.strptime(“2012-11-01T04:16:13-04:….

Fix Python – What is the difference between “datetime.timedelta” and “dateutil.relativedelta.relativedelta” when working only with days?

by

What is the difference between datetime.timedelta (from Python’s standard library) and dateutil.relativedelta.relativedelta when working only with days?
As far as I understand, timedelta only supports days (and weeks), while relativedelta adds support for periods defined in terms of years, months, weeks or days, as well as defining absolute values….

Fix Python – Best way to find the months between two dates

by

I have the need to be able to accurately find the months between two dates in python. I have a solution that works but its not very good (as in elegant) or fast.
dateRange = [datetime.strptime(dateRanges[0], “%Y-%m-%d”), datetime.strptime(dateRanges[1], “%Y-%m-%d”)]
months = []

tmpTime = dateRange[0]
oneWeek = timedelta(weeks=1)
tmpTime = tmpTi….
