Format Of "2016-10-22t16:27:54+0000" To Convert To Datetime

I want to convert a string to datetime. The string is: date_created = '2016-10-22T16:27:54+0000' And I am trying to convert that with: datetime.strptime(date_created, '%y-%m-%dT%H

Solution 1:

%y matches a year with two digits, but your input uses 4 digits. Use %Y instead:

>>>from datetime import datetime>>>date_created = "2016-10-22T16:27:54+0000">>>datetime.strptime(date_created, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+0000')
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 22, 16, 27, 54)

From the strftime() and strptime() Behavior section:

%y Year without century as a zero-padded decimal number. 00, 01, ..., 99

%Y Year with century as a decimal number. 0001, 0002, ..., 2013, 2014, ..., 9998, 9999
