timeobj   datetime datetime strptime my time    Y- m- d  I  M  S     File   usr lib python2 7  strptime py   line 335  in  strptime     data string found end      ValueError  unconverted data remains    In my case  the problem was an extra space in the input date string  So I used strip   and it started to work

Best answer is to use the from dateutil import parser   usage   from dateutil import parser datetime obj   parser parse  2018-02-06T13 12 18 1278015Z   print datetime obj   output  datetime datetime 2018  2  6  13  12  18  127801  tzinfo tzutc

The value of st at st   datetime strptime st    A  d  B   line something like 01 01 2013 02 05 and the strptime can t parse this  Indeed  you get an hour in addition of the date    You need to add  H  M at your strptime

Well it was very simple  I was missing the format of the date in the json file  so I should write     st   datetime strptime st    A  d  B  H  M     because in the json file the date was like      start    Friday 06 December 02 05

You have to parse all of the input string  you cannot just ignore parts   from datetime import date  datetime  for item in j      st   datetime strptime item  start      A  d  B  H  M        if st date      date today            item  start     st time     Here  we compare the date to today s date by using more datetime objects instead of trying to use strings   The alternative is to only pass in part of the item  start   string  splitting out just the time   but there really is no point here  not when you could just parse everything in one step first
