Converting unix timestamp string to readable date in Python
I have a timestamp:
t = 1322745926.123
How to convert timestamp to datetime object ?
datetime.strptime(t,date_format)
What should date_format be in the above function call?
datetime.strptime() is not the right function for your problem. It convertes a string like "30 Nov 00" to a struct_time object.
You propably want
from datetime import datetime
t = 1322745926.123
datetime.fromtimestamp(t).isoformat()
The result from this code is
'2011-12-01T14:25:26.123000'
if your timecode is a string you can do this:
from datetime import datetime
t = "1322745926.123"
datetime.fromtimestamp(float(t)).isoformat()
datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1322745926.123)
returns datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 1, 13, 25, 26, 123000) which is in the UTC timezone. With:
a = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1322745926.123))
you get a timezone-aware datetime object which can be then converted to any timezone you need:
a == datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 1, 13, 25, 26, 123000, tzinfo=<UTC>)
a.astimezone(pytz.timezone('Europe/Paris'))
# datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 1, 14, 25, 26, 123000, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'Europe/Paris' CET+1:00:00 STD>)
