iso8601

I'm trying to grab the date from my database in a standard timestamp and display it as ISO 8601. I'm unable to easily do it in PHP so I'm trying to do it in my SELECT statement. This is what I have, but it displays an error: SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY id DESC DATE_FORMAT(date,"%Y-%m-%dT%TZ") What am I doing wrong? The DATE_FORMAT(DateColumn) has to be in the SELECT list: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%dT%TZ') AS date_formatted FROM table_name ORDER BY id DESC DATE_FORMAT only works on MySQL date columns, not timestamps. A UNIX timestamp is an integer containing the number of seconds

In our project we use Zend Framework Model generator, which produces something like this to set the properties that are stored in DB (MySQL) as DATETIME fields: public function setObjectDatetime($data) { if (! $data instanceof Zend_Date) { ... some conversion code ... } $this->objectDatetime = $data->toString(Zend_Date::ISO_8601); } So the ISO::8601 formatted string ('2012-06-15T18:33:00+03:00' for example) is what actually is stored as a property. The problem arises when we try to save this model, and pass this string to MySQL (version 5.5.16): it raise the warning, but still inserts/updates

How do you convert a timezone-aware datetime object to the equivalent non-timezone-aware datetime for the local timezone? My particular application uses Django (although, this is in reality a generic Python question): import iso8601 .... date_str="2010-10-30T17:21:12Z" .... d = iso8601.parse_date(date_str) foo = app.models.FooModel(the_date=d) foo.save() This causes Django to throw an error: raise ValueError("MySQL backend does not support timezone-aware datetimes.") What I need is: d = iso8601.parse_date(date_str) local_d = SOME_FUNCTION(d) foo = app.models.FooModel(the_date=local_d) What

I have a file. In Python, I would like to take its creation time, and convert it to an ISO time (ISO 8601) string while preserving the fact that it was created in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) . How do I take the file's ctime and convert it to an ISO time string that indicates the Eastern Time Zone (and takes into account daylight savings time, if necessary)? estani Local to ISO 8601: import datetime datetime.datetime.now().isoformat() UTC to ISO 8601: import datetime datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat() Local to ISO 8601 without microsecond: import datetime datetime.datetime.now().replace

In Python, how can I convert a string like this: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:14:05 +0000 to ISO 8601 format, while keeping the timezone? Please note that the orginal date is string, and the output should be string too, not datetime or something like that. I have no problem to use third parties libraries, though. unutbu Using dateutil : import dateutil.parser as parser text = 'Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:14:05 +0000' date = parser.parse(text) print(date.isoformat()) # 2010-12-16T12:14:05+00:00 Python inbuilt datetime package has build in method to convert a datetime object to isoformat. Here is a example: >>

I need to display and handle UTC dates in the following format: 2013-06-28T22:15:00Z As this format is part of the ISO8601 standard I have no trouble creating DateTime objects from strings like the one above. However I can't find a clean way (meaning no string manipulations like substr and replace, etc.) to present my DateTime object in the desired format. I tried to tweak the server and php datetime settings, with little success. I always get: $date->format(DateTime::ISO8601); // gives 2013-06-28T22:15:00+00:00 Is there any date format or configuration setting that will give me the desired
