Question

date= dateutil.parser.parse('20150327T034556Z') 

returns:

2015-03-27 03:45:56+00:00

How to get the date part without the time part: (2015-03-27)

Answer 1

There is a date method for datetime objects.

>>> date = dateutil.parser.parse('20150327T034556Z')
>>> date
datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 27, 3, 45, 56, tzinfo=tzutc())
>>> date.date()
datetime.date(2015, 3, 27)
