  • In this Python Tutorial, we will be learning how to use the datetime module. The datetime module is important to understand, because you will be working with dates and times in just about every application you write. We will look at how to work with dates, times, datetimes, timedeltas, and timezones. Let's get started.

    In 'strftime,' the 'f' is for 'format,' and in 'strptime,' the 'p' is for 'parse.' Knowing this helps you remember them better. Great video by the way.

      Brilliant. You should have an Einstein award. Thanks for helping me remember it. I'll never forget how to understand now.

      and the 'str' is for 'string'

    • @user-qn5by5iv7u
      @user-qn5by5iv7u Před 2 lety +4

      Ha, i used to think 'f' stands for 'from' (like 'get string from time') but still couldn't come up with what 'p' stands for 😅

    Awesome tutorial, Corey. Datetimes is something I've never been good at, for lack of studying. But, rarely does anyone do a thorough tutorial on in, and that's where you've done a great job! Thanx

    This might not mean much to you, but honestly, I'd like to thank you for taking time out of your probably cluttered schedule to help out new programmers like my self every day. Please keep doing what your doing, and know that yes, you ARE in fact impacting many, many peoples lives. I hope to see more OOP content soon as well as some more helpful programming terms!

      I'll be recording more OOP videos this weekend and hopefully will release some next week. I've been meaning to put together a video on threads and multiprocessing, but there are a few other videos I have in my queue before that. I will try to get around to those as soon as possible though! Thanks.

    Very helpful, I’m writing a lot of stuff involving scheduling time lapse sequences and downloading files from a server. For my time lapse sequences I want the local time and UTC so that they can be inserted as a time stamp in the time lapse images. I’ve already fixed the UTC part but watched this for help.

    This video was awesome; thank you!
    I'm sure the help file will tell us how to grab the individual time components: date, hour, minute, second. In LabVIEW and other programming environments, there are functions that give you the time from a fixed point in the past as a reference point. I think the date is sometime in the January 1st 1980's, expressed as a number of seconds. It's the most numerically compatible way to deal with dates. I suspect Python has a similar time function too.
