Python 3 .2+ has support for %z format when parsing a string into a datetime object.
import datetime
dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2021-04-15T08:27:18-0500", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
>dt datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 15, 8, 27, 18, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(days=-1, seconds=68400)))
For other versions of Python, you can use an external library such as dateutil , which makes parsing a string with
timezone into a datetime object is quick.
import dateutil.parser
dt = dateutil.parser.parse("2021-04-15T08:27:18-0500")
The dt variable is now a datetime object with the following value:
datetime.datetime(2021, 4, 15, 8, 27, 18, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -18000))

from datetime import datetime datetime_string = 'Oct 1 2016, 00:00:00' datetime_string_format = '%b %d %Y, %H:%M:%S' datetime.strptime(datetime_string, datetime_string_format) # datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 1, 0, 0)
