I want to output a timestamp with a PST offset (e.g., 2008-11-13T13:23:30-08:00). java.util.SimpleDateFormat does not seem to output timezone offsets in the hour:minute format, it excludes the colon. Is there a simple way to get that timestamp in Java? // I want 2008-11-13T12:23:30-08:00 String timestamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'h:m:ssZ").format(new Date()); System.out.println(timestamp); // prints "2008-11-13T12:23:30-0800" See the difference? Also, SimpleDateFormat cannot properly parse the example above. It throws a ParseException . // Throws a ParseException new

I'm trying to parse the date returned as a value from the HTML5 datetime input field. Try it in Opera to see an example. The date returned looks like this: 2011-05-03T11:58:01Z . I'd like to parse that into a Java Date or Calendar Object. Ideally a solution should have the following things: No external libraries (jars) Handles all acceptable RFC 3339 formats A String should be able to be easily validated to see if it is a valid RFC 3339 date Just found that google implemented Rfc3339 parser in Google HTTP Client Library https://github.com/google/google-http-java-client/blob/dev/google-http

This question already has an answer here: Convert timestamps with offset to datetime obj using strptime 4 answers How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date? 25 answers So in Python 3, you can generate an ISO 8601 date with .isoformat(), but you can't convert a string created by isoformat() back into a datetime object because Python's own datetime directives don't match properly. That is, %z = 0500 instead of 05:00 (which is produced by .isoformat()). For example: >>> strDate = d.isoformat() >>> strDate '2015-02-04T20:55:08.914461+00:00' >>> objDate = datetime.strptime(strDate,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:

This question already has an answer here: How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date? 25 answers I have a datasets where all the dates have the following format: 2012-10-09T19:00:55Z I'd like to be able to be able to use methods like .weekday on them. How do I convert them to the proper format in Python? You can use dateutil.parser.parse to parse strings into datetime objects. dateutil.parser.parse will attempt to guess the format of your string, if you know the exact format in advance then you can use datetime.strptime which you supply a format string to (see Brent Washburne's answer). from

Is there an easy way to convert an RFC 3339 time into a regular Python timestamp? I've got a script which is reading an ATOM feed and I'd like to be able to compare the timestamp of an item in the ATOM feed to the modification time of a file. I notice from the ATOM spec , that ATOM dates include a time zone offset ( Z<a number> ) but, in my case, there's nothing after the Z so I guess we can assume GMT. I suppose I could parse the time with a regex of some sort but I was hoping Python had a built-in way of doing it that I just haven't been able to find. No builtin, afaik. feed.date.rfc3339

I am in the process of building an app that syncs with Google Tasks. As part part of the syncing, I want to compare the local task and the API task, and see which one has been changed more recently. Each task from Google's API contains an updated property, which looks like this: 2011-08-30T13:22:53.108Z Now I would like to generate a timestamp similar to that, so that every time I update a task on my app it sets a new updated value. To generate the RFC 3339 timestamp I am using - http://cbas.pandion.im/2009/10/generating-rfc-3339-timestamps-in.html which generates something like this: 2011-08

How do I convert a DateTime structure to its equivalent RFC 3339 formatted string representation and/or parse this string representation back to a DateTime structure? The RFC-3339 date-time format is used in a number of specifications such as the Atom Syndication Format . Matt Howells You don't need to write your own conversion code. Just use XmlConvert.ToDateTime(string s, XmlDateTimeSerializationMode dateTimeOption) to parse a RFC-3339 string, and XmlConvert.ToString(DateTime value, XmlDateTimeSerializationMode dateTimeOption) to convert a (UTC) datetime to a string.
