My website's articles are written using .md files, to get the created and modified times of these files I use the os.path.getctime() and os.path.getmtime() methods.

The output of these methods look like this:

• 1553541590.723329


• 1553541590.723329

While HTML requires this format:

• 2001-09-17T05:59:00+01:00


• 2013-09-16T19:08:47+01:00

I have two questions regarding this matter:

1. What's are the names of these two time formats?


2. How do I change the output of those methods to look like the required HTML format?

Thanks.

1) The os.path documentation indicates that both os.path.getctime() and os.path.getmtime() return a float indicating seconds since epoch. That seems consistent with the numbers you are getting.

2) The easiest thing to do would be to convert to an object to represent a date and then provide your desired format. Here, I used datetime with strftime() to output a string of desired format.

import datetime

>>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1553541590.723329)
datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 25, 12, 19, 50, 723329)

>>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1553541590.723329).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')
'2019-03-25T12:19:50'

You may find it easiest to just add the time zone string on the end since adding a timezone to a datetime object is a little involved. If you do want to go through with it, you need to create a tzinfo object and use it to update the datetime object using datetime.astimezone(tz). Here's a pretty good resource for adding a timezone to a datetime object.
