Re: [Tutor] datetime a.m. not AM
Well, I have managed to get it working by using the locale setting. It would
be nice to use the am/pm setting only and leave the rest unset. Will have
to look into it further. Any tips?
import locale
#to set locale to use a.m. instead of AM
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

If you know this will always be in the form of 'a.m.' you can replace it
with 'am' by data.replace('a.m.','am').

[Tutor] datetime a.m. not AM
Hello,
I have an issue with data that I am trying to convert to datetime. It has
'a.m.' rather than 'am' and the %p format doesn't seem to work. I am pretty
sure there should be an easy solution. That said I can not see it at the
moment. the following illustrates the issue. test1 and test2 work BUT my
data is in the format of 'data below:
import StringIO
import datetime
test1 = '1/09/1978 1:00:00 '
test2 = '1/09/1978 1:00:00 am'
data = '1/09/1978 1:00:00 a.m.'
print datetime.datetime.strptime(test1,('%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S '))
print datetime.datetime.strptime(test2,('%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p'))
print datetime.datetime.strptime(data,('%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p'))
Thank you for your time,
bevan
