I have time given in the following format. 

'August 28, 2017 Mon  03:30 am -  04:00 am'

I would like to convert it to the following utc format using arrow.

time =[u'2017-08-28T03:30:00+00:00', u'2017-08-28T04:00:00+00:00']

I was able to do it with very complex string manipulation but I think there is a smart way to do it using arrow.

One of my friends was able quickly put it together and sent me this. Thought it might help others.

import arrow
from dateutil.parser import * 
t = 'Fri October 20 05:15 pm - 06:15 pm'
q = t.split('-')[0].strip()
x = t.split(' ')
x = ' '.join(x[:3]) +' '+ x[-2] + ' '+  x[-1]

arrow.get(parse(q)), arrow.get(parse(x))

    While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how this code answers the question improves its long-term value. A ***good answer*** will always have an explanation of what was done and why it was done in such a manner, not only for the OP but for future visitors to SO. – Jay Blanchard Dec 07 '17 at 20:14
