I have the following model class
class Transaction(models.Model):
quantity = models.IntegerField(default=0)
sell_time = models.DateTimeField()
When I fetch "sell_time" from the model, I am getting datetime in the following format
2014-10-01 08:09:46.251563+00:00
my question is, if it is not in the format like
year-month-day hour:minutes:seconds
how can I convert to python datetime object like
datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 1, 08, 09, 46, 540535)
many thanks
Did you print it? If you print a datetime object, it is serialized to a string but it is a datetime. You can use it as any other datetime.
You are seeing that because you did not set the correct time zone. Use the UTC time and then you can format .strftime("format") the time accordingly to each locale, you can install pytz and enable it in the settings to handle all the hustle. Always use UTC datetime object because then you can get what ever time you want knowing the zone your user is in. Documentation from Django
