I am getting a datetime string from pyqt5

edt = self.home_ui.end_date_time.dateTime()
print(type(edt))
edt_string = edt.toString(self.home_ui.start_date_time.displayFormat())
print(edt_string)

which looks like below:

<class 'PyQt5.QtCore.QDateTime'>

2020-09-21 11:32:00

I want to convert it to below format:

2020-09-21T11:32:00

I tried:

edt_string = datetime.datetime.strptime(edt_string, "yyyy-M-dTh:mm:ss")

Can anyone please help me here. Thanks

if you have a python datetime, you can just use `datetime.datetime.now().isoformat()` – Joran Beasley Sep 21 '20 at 06:13
@JoranBeasley I tried doing this on `edt_string` but its not working – S Andrew Sep 21 '20 at 06:14

try `edt.isoformat()` - it's a method of the datetime object, not string. – FObersteiner Sep 21 '20 at 06:19
@MrFuppes Tried that too, `isoformat` for `edt` is not available – S Andrew Sep 21 '20 at 06:20
ok so what dtype is `edt`? does it have a method to convert to datetime object first? – FObersteiner Sep 21 '20 at 06:21
@MrFuppes Its ``. Applogies, I forgot to add this in question. – S Andrew Sep 21 '20 at 06:22
@MrFuppes `AttributeError: 'QDateTime' object has no attribute 'isoformat'` – S Andrew Sep 21 '20 at 06:24

`edt.toPyDateTime().isoformat()` could work – FObersteiner Sep 21 '20 at 06:26
@MrFuppes Yes it is working fine. I you can answer, I will accept. – S Andrew Sep 21 '20 at 06:56
@SAndrew: I'm glad if it helped, just give [that one](https://stackoverflow.com/q/22451283/10197418) a +1 ;-) – FObersteiner Sep 21 '20 at 06:58
