Convert wx.DateTime to python string

[Igor Korot]

Hi, ALL,
Is there an easy way to do such a conversion?
Or I have to convert to python datetime object first?

Thank you.

I think what you are searching for is:

wx.DateTime.Format()

wx.DateTime.FormatDate()

wx.DateTime.FormatTime()

[Igor Korot]

Hi, Torsten,

I tried to use following code:

date_from = self.date_from.GetValue()
date_to = self.date_to.GetValue()
good_message = "Modification Time between " + date_from.Format('%F',
wx.DateTime.UTC) + " and " + date_to.Format('%F', wx.DateTime.UTC)

But I got python to crash.
It is on Windows XP SP3 32-bit with python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9.4.0.

Any idea?
I'm in US and the self.date_from is the value from the
wx.DatePickerCtrl: 3/28/2014.

Thank you.

On the page: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/ '%F'
is referenced as a valid
format specifier for the strftime() which means, according to wxPython
documentation
it should be possible to use on wx.DateTime Format() function.

Is this a bug in that function?
Or my version of wxPython is not supported this parameter? Because
python is just crashing
without throwing any exceptions.

Thank you.

I tried it with %F and it crashes too. I'm on Win7 64Bit, Python 2.7.6 32Bit and wx 2.9.5.

%F is equivalent to %Y-%m-%d  and that is working. Maybe there's really a bug.

Torsten,

Thank you for confirming.
Hopefully Robin will be able to check whether it is really a bug or not.

Unfortunately I don't have wxWidgets compiled on this machine to
check. I installed wxPython from the binary package....

Easy:
python -c"import wx;now=wx.DateTime.Now();s_now=str(now);print s_now;"

Yes it appears to be a bug with %F, and only on Windows. Please search
for a Trac ticket about it and add one if you don't find one already there.
