I returned dates between two given dates:
for date in rrule(DAILY, dtstart = date1, until = date2):
print date_item.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
How to convert the date_item e.g. 2016-01-01 to ISO 8601 format like:2016-01-01T18:10:18.000Z in python?
I created a sample datetime object like shown below:
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()
print now
2016-09-21 16:59:18.175038
Here is the output, formatted to your requirement:
print datetime.strftime(now, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z")
'2016-09-21T16:59:18.000Z'
Here is a good site to refer the various options, I personally find it easier to use than Python's official docs: http://strftime.org
You can use strftime to convert date_item in any format as per your requirement.see the below example
current_time = strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ",gmtime())
print(current_time)
Output:
'2016-09-21T11:30:04Z'
so you can use like this:
from time import gmtime,strftime
import datetime
date_item = datetime.datetime.now()
print date_item.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
