Python UTC timestamp with ISO format

Question

I know this has been asked but there was no solution provided there. Python UTC datetime object's ISO format doesn't include Z (Zulu or Zero offset)

I am looking for a clean way of generating UTC time stamp with this format in Python. The format I need is 2013-10-29T09:38:41.341Z.

Specifically, I need to include "Z" at the end. Python's datetime.utcnow().isoformat() does not append "Z" at the end.

Note that manually appending "Z" is not a solution I can accept. I am looking for a clean way to do this.

What is the clean way to generate UTC timestamp in ISO format with the suffix Z?

Answer 1

How about something like

datetime.utcnow().isoformat()[:-3] + 'Z'
