Isoformat to datetime – Python
In this article, we are going to see how to convert Isoformat to datetime in Python.
Method 1: Using fromisoformat() in datetime module
In this method, we are going to use fromisoformat() which converts the string into DateTime object.
Syntax:
datetime.fromisoformatc(date)
Example: Converting isoformat to datetime
Python3
# importing datetime module from datetime import datetime # Getting today's date todays_Date = datetime.now() # Get date into the isoformat isoformat_date = todays_Date.isoformat() # print the type of date print ( type (isoformat_date)) # convert string date into datetime format result = datetime.fromisoformat(isoformat_date) print ( type (result)) |
Output:
<class 'str'> <class 'datetime.datetime'>
Method 2: Using parse() in dateutil module
In this method, we will use this inbuilt Python library python-dateutil, The parse() method can be used to detect date and time in a string.
Syntax: dateutil.parser.parse((isoformat_string)
Parameters: Isoformat_string: Str.
Return: Datetime object
Example: converting isoformat to datetime
Python3
# importing datetime module from datetime import datetime import dateutil # Getting today's date todays_Date = datetime.now() isoformat_date = todays_Date.isoformat() # display isoformat type print ( type (isoformat_date)) # convert it into datetime and display result = dateutil.parser.parse(isoformat_date) print ( type (result)) |
Output:
<class 'str'> <class 'datetime.datetime'>
