flowbber.utils.iso8601

Utilities to handle ISO 8601 formatted dates.

Functions

• iso8601_to_datetime(): Converts a date of the format YYYY:MM:DDTHH:MM:SS (ISO 8601) to
• datetime_to_iso8601(): Converts a datetime object to a date string of the format

flowbber.utils.iso8601.iso8601_to_datetime(date_string)

Converts a date of the format YYYY:MM:DDTHH:MM:SS (ISO 8601) to a datetime object.

This function is somewhat analogous to:

from datetime import datetime
datetime.fromisoformat('2019-08-05T14:38:13')

But since datetime.fromisoformat() was added only in Python 3.7 this function is left for backward compatibility.

Parameters

date_string (str) – Date string.

Returns

Datetime object.

flowbber.utils.iso8601.datetime_to_iso8601(date)

Converts a datetime object to a date string of the format YYYY:MM:DDTHH:MM:SS (ISO 8601).

This function is analogous to:

from datetime import datetime
datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0).isoformat()

Parameters

date (datetime) – Datetime object.

Returns

string with the date.
