I have the following code:
This is my Code:
print (start_timestamp)
start_timestamp_no_iso = datetime.strptime(start_timestamp, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
This is what I get:
INFO - 2018-11-20T14:44:03.452131
INFO - Traceback (most recent call last):
INFO - File "/home/ubuntu/script.py", line 84, in <module>
INFO - start_timestamp_no_iso = datetime.strptime(start_timestamp, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
INFO - File "/usr/lib/python3.6/_strptime.py", line 565, in _strptime_datetime
INFO - tt, fraction = _strptime(data_string, format)
INFO - File "/usr/lib/python3.6/_strptime.py", line 365, in _strptime
INFO - data_string[found.end():])
INFO - ValueError: unconverted data remains:
INFO - Command exited with return code 1
I understand what it means but I don't understand why it happens. I simply convert the timestamp from iso format to non iso. What is the problem?

strptime is short for "parse time" where strftime is for "formatting time". That is, strptime is the opposite of strftime though they use, conveniently, the same formatting specification.
To convert datetime to string in Python, use the strftime() function. The strftime() method is a built-in method that returns the string representing date and time using date, time, or datetime object.
To remove the time from a datetime object in Python, convert the datetime to a date using date(). You can also use strftime() to create a string from a datetime object without the time.
Your format string %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f is absolutely correct. I am sure, you have line feeds at the end of your line. Try
start_timestamp_no_iso = datetime.strptime(start_timestamp.strip(' \t\r\n'), "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
