The data I am pulling from a database has string representations of time.struct_time.
Example for this string representation:
time.struct_time(tm_year=2022, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=9, tm_hour=19, tm_min=26, tm_sec=4, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=9, tm_isdst=0)
I would like to parse this string so that I can use it as a date object.
I have tried dateparser.parse and eval but no joy. I am reluctant to manually split it and parse it that way.
Is there a better way?
Ok, so i have a solution of sorts by using split and striptime
I had just thought that there would perhaps be a way of using some kind of eval -like solution
from datetime import datetime
t = "time.struct_time(tm_year=2022, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=9, tm_hour=19, tm_min=26, tm_sec=4, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=9, tm_isdst=0)"
t = t.split(', tm_wday=')[0]
t = datetime.strptime(t, "time.struct_time(tm_year=%Y, tm_mon=%m, tm_mday=%d, tm_hour=%H, tm_min=%M, tm_sec=%S")
t
>> datetime.datetime(2022, 1, 9, 19, 26, 4)
