String with time with decimal second

Question

Tell me I have a formatted string HHMMSS.SS

, how do I convert this to a time object?

This is how I thought you would do it:

import time
time.strptime(timestring, '%H%M%S')

However, it %S

does not take into account fractions of seconds according to the time documentation .

You will need to use% f

time.strptime('26/01/12 23:50:32.123', '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S.%f')

Using datetime would be correct.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> a = datetime.strptime('26/01/12 23:50:32.123', '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S.%f')
>>> a.microsecond
