如果您不想明确指定字符串相对于日期时间格式的格式，可以使用此黑客绕过该步骤：

from dateutil.parser import parse

# Function that'll guess the format and convert it into the python datetime format
def update_event(start_datetime=None, end_datetime=None, description=None):
    if start_datetime is not None:
        new_start_time = parse(start_datetime)

        return new_start_time

# Sample input dates in different formats
d = ['06/07/2021 06:40:23.277000', '06/07/2021 06:40', '06/07/2021']

new = [update_event(i) for i in d]

for date in new:
    print(date)
    # Sample output dates in Python datetime object
    #   2014-04-23 00:00:00
    #   2013-04-24 00:00:00
    #   2014-04-25 00:00:00

如果要将其转换为其他日期时间格式，只需使用您喜欢的格式修改最后一行，例如date.strftime（“%Y/%m/%d%H:%m:%S.%f”）：

from dateutil.parser import parse

def update_event(start_datetime=None, end_datetime=None, description=None):
    if start_datetime is not None:
        new_start_time = parse(start_datetime)

        return new_start_time

# Sample input dates in different formats
d = ['06/07/2021 06:40:23.277000', '06/07/2021 06:40', '06/07/2021']

# Passing the dates one by one through the function
new = [update_event(i) for i in d]

for date in new:
    print(date.strftime('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%f'))
    # Sample output dates in required Python datetime object
    #   2021/06/07 06:40:23.277000
    #   2021/06/07 06:40:00.000000
    #   2021/06/07 00:00:00.000000

尝试运行上面的代码段以获得更好的清晰度。

Django时区感知日期时间对象示例。

import datetime
from django.utils.timezone import get_current_timezone
tz = get_current_timezone()

format = '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p'
date_object = datetime.datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005  1:33PM', format)
date_obj = tz.localize(date_object)

当USE_TZ=True时，这种转换对于Django和Python非常重要：

RuntimeWarning: DateTimeField MyModel.created received a naive datetime (2016-03-04 00:00:00) while time zone support is active.

创建一个小的实用程序函数，如：

def date(datestr="", format="%Y-%m-%d"):
    from datetime import datetime
    if not datestr:
        return datetime.today().date()
    return datetime.strptime(datestr, format).date()

这是足够多功能的：

如果不传递任何参数，它将返回今天的日期。有一个日期格式作为默认值，您可以覆盖它。您可以轻松地修改它以返回日期时间。

将yyyy-mm-dd日期字符串映射到datetime.date对象的简短示例：

from datetime import date
date_from_yyyy_mm_dd = lambda δ : date(*[int(_) for _ in δ.split('-')])
date_object = date_from_yyyy_mm_dd('2021-02-15')

datetime.strptime将用户指定格式的输入字符串解析为时区原始日期时间对象：

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005  1:33PM', '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p')
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 1, 13, 33)

要使用现有的datetime对象获取日期对象，请使用.date（）对其进行转换：

>>> datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005', '%b %d %Y').date()
date(2005, 6, 1)
