In this article, we are going to see how to convert Isoformat to datetime in Python.
Method 1: Using fromisoformat() in datetime module
In this method, we are going to use fromisoformat() which converts the string into DateTime object.
Syntax:
datetime.fromisoformatc(date)
Example: Converting isoformat to datetime
# importing datetime module
from datetime import datetime
# Getting today's date
todays_Date = datetime.now()
# Get date into the isoformat
isoformat_date = todays_Date.isoformat()
# print the type of date
print(type(isoformat_date))
# convert string date into datetime format
result = datetime.fromisoformat(isoformat_date)
print(type(result))
Output:
<class 'str'> <class 'datetime.datetime'>
Method 2: Using parse() in dateutil module
In this method, we will use this inbuilt Python library python-dateutil, The parse() method can be used to detect date and time in a string.
Syntax: dateutil.parser.parse((isoformat_string)
Parameters: Isoformat_string: Str.
Return: Datetime object
Example: converting isoformat to datetime
# importing datetime module
from datetime import datetime
import dateutil
# Getting today's date
todays_Date = datetime.now()
isoformat_date = todays_Date.isoformat()
# display isoformat type
print(type(isoformat_date))
# convert it into datetime and display
result = dateutil.parser.parse(isoformat_date)
print(type(result))
Output:
<class 'str'> <class 'datetime.datetime'>
