valueerror: unconverted data remains: 11:00:00 in python

The "ValueError: unconverted data remains" error occurs when there is extra data in your string that couldn't be parsed into a valid datetime object.

To fix this error, you need to ensure that your input string matches the format you specified for the datetime object. Here is an example of how to parse a datetime string in Python:

main.py
from datetime import datetime

date_string = "2022-01-01 11:00:00"

try:
    # Specify the format of the datetime string
    format_string = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
    
    # Parse the datetime string into a datetime object
    datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(date_string, format_string)
    
    # Print the parsed datetime
    print(datetime_obj)
    
except ValueError as e:
    # Handle the ValueError if the format is incorrect or extra data remains
    print(f"ValueError: {e}")
483 chars
18 lines

In the above example, we specify the format of the datetime string using the format codes %Y, %m, %d, %H, %M, %S which represent the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second respectively. If the input string does not match the specified format exactly, a ValueError with the message "unconverted data remains" will be raised.

Make sure to adjust the format string in the example above to match the format of your input datetime string.
