How do I convert RFC822 to a python datetime object?

Question

I know how to do this the other way around... it would be:

>>> dt.rfc822()
\'Sun, 09 Mar 1997 13:45:00 -0500\'

Answer 1

If you strip off the time zone, you can do it like this:

datetime.datetime.strptime('Sun, 09 Mar 1997 13:45:00', '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S')
