[Solved] How to convert unformatted time to a python time object

by


It seems parsedatetime module that should parse human-readable date/time text works in this case:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from datetime import datetime
import parsedatetime as pdt # $ pip install parsedatetime

cal = pdt.Calendar()
print(datetime.now())
for time_str in ["8 seconds ago", "5 minutes ago", "11 hours ago",
                 "11:34 AM yesterday"]:
    dt, flags = cal.parseDT(time_str)
    assert flags
    print(dt)

Output

2015-06-26 21:07:19.108521
2015-06-26 21:07:11
2015-06-26 21:02:19
2015-06-26 10:07:19
2015-06-25 11:34:00
