将日期转换为字符串

date = str(datetime.datetime(somedatetimehere)) 

通常有几种方法来序列化日期时间，比如:

ISO字符串，短，可以包含时区信息，例如@jgbarah的答案 时间戳(时区数据丢失)，例如@JayTaylor的答案 属性字典(包括时区)。

如果您同意最后一种方法，json_tricks包将处理日期、时间和日期时间(包括时区)。

from datetime import datetime
from json_tricks import dumps
foo = {'title': 'String', 'datetime': datetime(2012, 8, 8, 21, 46, 24, 862000)}
dumps(foo)

这使:

{"title": "String", "datetime": {"__datetime__": null, "year": 2012, "month": 8, "day": 8, "hour": 21, "minute": 46, "second": 24, "microsecond": 862000}}

所以你要做的就是

`pip install json_tricks`

然后导入从json_tricks而不是json。

不将其存储为单个字符串、int型或float型的优势体现在解码时:如果你遇到的只是字符串，特别是int型或float型，你需要了解一些关于数据的信息，以知道它是否是一个datetime。作为dict，您可以存储元数据，以便自动解码，这就是json_tricks为您做的。它也很容易为人类编辑。

免责声明:这是我做的。因为我也有同样的问题。

def j_serial(o):     # self contained
    from datetime import datetime, date
    return str(o).split('.')[0] if isinstance(o, (datetime, date)) else None

以上用途的使用:

import datetime
serial_d = j_serial(datetime.datetime.now())
if serial_d:
    print(serial_d)  # output: 2018-02-28 02:23:15

我的解决方案(我认为不那么冗长):

def default(o):
    if type(o) is datetime.date or type(o) is datetime.datetime:
        return o.isoformat()

def jsondumps(o):
    return json.dumps(o, default=default)

然后使用jsondumps而不是json.dumps。它将打印:

>>> jsondumps({'today': datetime.date.today()})
'{"today": "2013-07-30"}'

如果你想，以后你可以添加其他特殊情况，通过一个简单的默认方法。例子:

def default(o):
    if type(o) is datetime.date or type(o) is datetime.datetime:
        return o.isoformat()
    if type(o) is decimal.Decimal:
        return float(o)

我的解决方案是……

from datetime import datetime
import json

from pytz import timezone
import pytz


def json_dt_serializer(obj):
    """JSON serializer, by macm.
    """
    rsp = dict()
    if isinstance(obj, datetime):
        rsp['day'] = obj.day
        rsp['hour'] = obj.hour
        rsp['microsecond'] = obj.microsecond
        rsp['minute'] = obj.minute
        rsp['month'] = obj.month
        rsp['second'] = obj.second
        rsp['year'] = obj.year
        rsp['tzinfo'] = str(obj.tzinfo)
        return rsp
    raise TypeError("Type not serializable")


def json_dt_deserialize(obj):
    """JSON deserialize from json_dt_serializer, by macm.
    """
    if isinstance(obj, str):
        obj = json.loads(obj)
    tzone = timezone(obj['tzinfo'])
    tmp_dt = datetime(obj['year'],
                      obj['month'],
                      obj['day'],
                      hour=obj['hour'],
                      minute=obj['minute'],
                      second=obj['second'],
                      microsecond=obj['microsecond'])
    loc_dt = tzone.localize(tmp_dt)
    deserialize = loc_dt.astimezone(tzone)
    return deserialize    

好，现在来做一些测试。

# Tests
now = datetime.now(pytz.utc)

# Using this solution
rsp = json_dt_serializer(now)
tmp = json_dt_deserialize(rsp)
assert tmp == now
assert isinstance(tmp, datetime) == True
assert isinstance(now, datetime) == True

# using default from json.dumps
tmp = json.dumps(datetime.now(pytz.utc), default=json_dt_serializer)
rsp = json_dt_deserialize(tmp)
assert isinstance(rsp, datetime) == True

# Lets try another timezone
eastern = timezone('US/Eastern')
now = datetime.now(eastern)
rsp = json_dt_serializer(now)
tmp = json_dt_deserialize(rsp)

print(tmp)
# 2015-10-22 09:18:33.169302-04:00

print(now)
# 2015-10-22 09:18:33.169302-04:00

# Wow, Works!
assert tmp == now

这是我的完整的解决方案转换datetime JSON和回来..

import calendar, datetime, json

def outputJSON(obj):
    """Default JSON serializer."""

    if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
        if obj.utcoffset() is not None:
            obj = obj - obj.utcoffset()

        return obj.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
    return str(obj)

def inputJSON(obj):
    newDic = {}

    for key in obj:
        try:
            if float(key) == int(float(key)):
                newKey = int(key)
            else:
                newKey = float(key)

            newDic[newKey] = obj[key]
            continue
        except ValueError:
            pass

        try:
            newDic[str(key)] = datetime.datetime.strptime(obj[key], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
            continue
        except TypeError:
            pass

        newDic[str(key)] = obj[key]

    return newDic

x = {'Date': datetime.datetime.utcnow(), 34: 89.9, 12.3: 90, 45: 67, 'Extra': 6}

print x

with open('my_dict.json', 'w') as fp:
    json.dump(x, fp, default=outputJSON)

with open('my_dict.json') as f:
    my_dict = json.load(f, object_hook=inputJSON)

print my_dict

输出

{'Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 8, 2, 30, 56, 479727), 34: 89.9, 45: 67, 12.3: 90, 'Extra': 6}
{'Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 8, 2, 30, 56, 479727), 34: 89.9, 45: 67, 12.3: 90, 'Extra': 6}

JSON文件

{"Date": "2013-11-08 02:30:56.479727", "34": 89.9, "45": 67, "12.3": 90, "Extra": 6}

这使我能够导入和导出字符串，int，浮点和datetime对象。 扩展到其他类型应该不难。
