Convert UTC time to python datetime
11,204
Change the year marker in your time format string to %Y
:
time = '2012-03-01T00:05:55+00:00'
datetime.strptime(time, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00")
# => datetime.datetime(2012, 3, 1, 0, 5, 55)
See strftime()
and strptime()
behavior.

I have numerous UTC time stamps in the following format:
2012-04-30T23:08:56+00:00
I want to convert them to python datetime objects but am having trouble.My code:
for time in data: pythondata[i]=datetime.strptime(time,"%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00")
I get the following error:
ValueError: time data '2012-03-01T00:05:55+00:00' does not match format '%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+00:00'
It looks like I have the proper format, so why doesn't this work?
