python
mydate = datetime(2018, 5, 2, 10, 30)
mydate = datetime.fromtimestamp(1525069936)
mydate = datetime.fromisoformat('2011-11-04 00:05:23.283')
mydate = datetime.strptime('2018-04-30 13:45:01', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')Generating string from datetime objects:

|---|---|
isoformat(sep='T') | string representing the date and time in ISO 8601 format. |
strftime(format) | String representing the date and time formatted according to the given format. |
python
strdate = mydate.isoformat()
strdate = mydate.strftime('%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')Timedelta
Get a date with the next month (See also dateutil.relativedelta).
python
future_date = mydate.replace(day=1) + timedelta(days=32)Difference between dates.
python
difference = datetime.now() - datetime(2020, 1, 1) # timedelta object
seconds = difference.total_seconds()
str(difference) # '3:57:20'Timezone
Replace timezone (does not change the time itself):
python
UTC = timezone.utc
JST = timezone(timedelta(hours=9))
utcdate = mydate.replace(tzinfo=UTC)
jstdate = utcdate.astimezone(JST)
