Unable to find a way to convert a UTC timestamp to ISO format in python

I am looking to convert "Thu Jul 09 17:05:42 +0000 2020" this string into ISO format in Python. I searched on internet but didn't find any useful information.

Solution

  • You can create a datetime object from the given string and then use the datetime.isoformat() to convert it to ISO format.

    from datetime import datetime

mydate = datetime.strptime("Thu Jul 09 17:05:42 +0000 2020", "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %z %Y")
print(mydate.isoformat())

    Output:

    2020-07-09T17:05:42+00:00

    You can read more about formatting the date from the documentation
