dt = "2021-06-10T10:56:58.189+0200"
is my timestamp, which i want to convert into a datetime representation. I use following code to do this:
d = dateutil.parser.parse(dt)
But my output looks like this:
2021-06-10 10:56:58.189000+02:00
Not much has changed. How can I include the information about the timezone in my newly created datetime object. I tried out a few more things from the documentation but can not work it out on my own..
Thanks in advance.
note that +0200 is a UTC offset, not a time zone ("America/Los_Angeles" is a time zone for example). If you wish to set a specific time zone, you can do it like
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
# you can do the parsing with the standard lib:
s = "2021-06-10T10:56:58.189+0200"
dt = datetime.strptime(s, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")
# now set a time zone:
dt_tz = dt.astimezone(ZoneInfo("Europe/Berlin"))
print(dt_tz) # __str__ gives you ISO format
# 2021-06-10 10:56:58.189000+02:00
print(dt_tz.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S %Z")) # custom format
# 2021-06-10T10:56:58 CEST
print(repr(dt_tz)) # object representation; __repr__
# datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 10, 10, 56, 58, 189000, tzinfo=zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='Europe/Berlin'))
tzinfo attribute of the datetime class is for ;-) Be aware though that you can unambiguously infer a UTC offset from a given date/time + time zone - but not vice versa. Multiple (geographic) time zones might share the same UTC offset at a given point in time.
