I have a requirement were i need to convert a date from a query to another
format as follows:
db(db.mytable).select(db.mytable.id,
datetime.strptime(str(db.mytable.startDate),
'%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
The problem is am getting an error
ValueError: time data 'mytable.startDate' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d'
When I output the value of str(db.mytable.startDate) i get s string as
follows:
"2013-12-04 00:00:00"
So what i did was to change the format to include the time part as follows:
db(db.mytable).select(db.mytable.id,
datetime.strptime(str(db.mytable.startDate), '%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S').strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
But still getting similar error:
ValueError: time data 'mytable.startDate' does not match format
'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
On the python console when i try to pass this command its working fine:
>>> datetime.strptime("2013-12-04 00:00:00", '%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S').strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
'04/12/2013'
What am I missing?
