I'm trying to convert a string (well, unicode) in the following format to a timedelta or datetime object,

u'2015-05-06 12:48:37 UTC+00:00'

I can't find anywhere with the timezone included and

datetime.strptime('2015-05-06 12:48:37', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M-%S')

without the timezone is throwing a does not match format error.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also an explaination of the formatting would be great.

@Kasramvd - Not a duplicate; the one without a timezone fails because of a formatting error (delimiting the seconds with `'-'` instead of `':'`). – TigerhawkT3 Jul 30 '15 at 18:50
@TigerhawkT3 Yes not exactly but I think OP can find the answer in dup question! – Mazdak Jul 30 '15 at 18:56
