My colleague needs me to drop the milliseconds from my python timestamp objects in order to comply with the old POSIX (IEEE Std 1003.1-1988) standard. The tortured route that accomplishes this task for me is as follows:
datetime.datetime.strptime(datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") Is there a simpler way to end up with a datetime.datetime object for mongoDB than this?

Use the setSeconds() method to remove the seconds and milliseconds from a date, e.g. date. setSeconds(0, 0) . The setSeconds method takes the seconds and milliseconds as parameters and sets the provided values on the date.
If you just want strings, you could remove the trailing seconds with a regex ':\d\d$' .
This method takes a datetime object and returns a character string representing the date in ISO 8601 format. To get rid of the microseconds component, we have to specify the keyword 'seconds' within the isoformat function.
You can use datetime.replace() method -
>>> d = datetime.datetime.today().replace(microsecond=0) >>> d datetime.datetime(2015, 7, 18, 9, 50, 20) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
