I have a very silly question... how I can convert this timestring to a normal datetime?

Greetings.
You can do:
import datetime
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(20170509.54166667)
# which returns this:
datetime.datetime(1970, 8, 22, 11, 55, 9, 541667)

How to display locale sensitive time format without seconds in python

I have a python datetime object that I want to display on a website, however the time shows in the format hh:mm:ss and I want to display it in the format hh:mm.
I have tried using the replace method as per the following:
message.timestamp.replace(second='0', microsecond=0)
However this doesn't get red of the seconds it just replaces it with hh:mm:00
Use strftime() function
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 27, 11, 14, 37, 137010)
>>> now = datetime.now()
>>> now.strftime("%H:%M")
'11:15'

I have weird date format in logs: 2017-01-24T23:52:14
I am trying to convert this string into datetime Python object like this:
date_from_log = datetime.strptime('2017-01-24T23:52:14', '%Y-%m-%dT%I:%M:%S')
but I get:
ValueError: time data ' 2017-01-24T23:25:39 ' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%I:%M:%S'
What is wrong?
You should be using %H for hours!!
date_from_log = datetime.strptime(s, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')
Output:
datetime(2017, 1, 24, 23, 52, 14)

The last.fm API using user.getRecentTracks method's response supplies a date in the following format:
"date": {
"#text": "11 Dec 2015, 01:41",
"uts": "1449798068"
},
What is this "uts" field and how do I convert it into datetime string for a MySql database in python? Would your suggested answer be more efficient than using datetime.datetime.strptime() method to convert the text string given?
uts looks like a timestamp. The abbreviation probably stands for UTC timestamp or Unix Timestamp. I'm not sure which, but, it simple to convert it to a datetime object
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1449798068)
>>> print(dt)
datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 10, 20, 41, 8)
It seems the #text key has the time in a local timezone, which is five hours ahead.

My colleague needs me to drop the milliseconds from my python timestamp objects in order to comply with the old POSIX (IEEE Std 1003.1-1988) standard. The tortured route that accomplishes this task for me is as follows:
datetime.datetime.strptime(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
Is there a simpler way to end up with a datetime.datetime object for mongoDB than this?
You can use datetime.replace() method -
>>> d = datetime.datetime.today().replace(microsecond=0)
>>> d
datetime.datetime(2015, 7, 18, 9, 50, 20)

How can I account for period (AM/PM) using strftime?
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm trying to convert a string date to epoch, but it doesn't seem to pick up the am or pm. The time always defaults to am.
I've tried this:
dt = '2015-05-04 5:55PM'
pattern = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M%p'
epochDate = int(time.mktime(time.strptime(dt, pattern)))
print epochDate
# Result
1430684700
# Checking output
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1430684700).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%p')
# Doesn't show PM
'2015-05-04 05:55:00AM'
I'm not sure what I've done wrong here?
You should use the python-dateutil library:
>>> import dateutil.parser
>>> dateutil.parser.parse('2015-05-04 5:55PM')
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 4, 17, 55)
>>> dateutil.parser.parse('2015-05-04 5:55AM')
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 4, 5, 55)
