Hi, ALL,
I am trying to comprehend what is required to get a successful processing. ;-)
My script receives a data from the csv file. In this csv file there is
a datetime field.
This datetime field is formatted as follows: %m/%d/%Y
%H:%M:%S.{milliseconds}. I'm reading this field into the string with
this format.
The trouble comes from the fact that I need to insert this value into
mySQL. Doing it directly gives me an error: "Incorrect formatting".
After a bit of googling and trial I found out that mySQL is looking
for the format of '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.{milliseconds}.
There is a mySQL function which transfers the data into the proper
format: STR_TO_DATE(), but I can't obviously call it since it is not
known to Python.
Now obviously there should be a possibility to reformat this string.
I guess I can try to do:
mydate = date(mydate_from_csv)
text = mydate.format()
but this feels like an ugly hack.
Is there a better alternative?
Thank you.
Round trip the data using these
http://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior or
use string slicing and dicing.
