python time interval code example

Example 1: python difference in time

from datetime import datetime
import time

datetime1 = datetime.datetime.now()
# Wait for 1 minute
time.sleep(60) 
datetime2 = datetime.datetime.now()

difference = datetime2 - datetime1
print(f"The time difference between the 2 time is: {difference}")

Example 2: python strftime iso 8601

>>> # convert string in iso 8601 date dime format to python datetime type
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2020-06-19T15:52:50Z', "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 19, 15, 52, 50)
