Date Time split in python

Question

I have to split a date time which I get from a software in the below format to separate variables (year,month,day,hour, min,sec)

19 Nov 2015  18:45:00.000
         


        

Answer 1

As an alternative to wim's answer, if you don't want to install a package, you can do it like so:

import datetime

s = "19 Nov 2015  18:45:00.000"
d = datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d %b %Y  %H:%M:%S.%f")

print d.year
print d.month
print d.day
print d.hour
print d.minute
print d.second

This outputs:

2015
11
19
18
45
0

This utilizes strptime to parse the string.
