title: Datetimes (Datetime)
---


Datetime validator parses using the python-dateutil library and
returns a python datetime object.


Example yaml_snippet:

```yaml
date: 2016-10-22
datetime1: 2016-10-22T14:23:12+00:00
datetime2: 2016-10-22T14:23:12Z
datetime3: 20161022T142312Z

```


```python
from strictyaml import Map, Datetime, YAMLValidationError, load, as_document
from collections import OrderedDict
from dateutil.tz.tz import tzutc
from datetime import datetime
from ensure import Ensure

schema = Map({
    "date": Datetime(),
    "datetime1": Datetime(),
    "datetime2": Datetime(),
    "datetime3": Datetime(),
})

equivalent_data = OrderedDict([
    ("date", datetime(2016, 10, 22, 0, 0)),
    ("datetime1", datetime(2016, 10, 22, 14, 23, 12, tzinfo=tzutc())),
    ("datetime2", datetime(2016, 10, 22, 14, 23, 12, tzinfo=tzutc())),
    ("datetime3", datetime(2016, 10, 22, 14, 23, 12, tzinfo=tzutc())),
])

```



Each of the four datetimes are valid and parsed:


```python
Ensure(load(yaml_snippet, schema)).equals(equivalent_data)

```




.text still returns the original text:


```python
Ensure(load(yaml_snippet, schema)["date"].text).equals("2016-10-22")

```




Non datetimes raise an exception:

```yaml
date: 1
datetime1: รข
datetime2: b
datetime3: c

```


```python
load(yaml_snippet, schema)
```


```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLValidationError:
when expecting a datetime
found arbitrary text
  in "<unicode string>", line 2, column 1:
    datetime1: "\xE2"
    ^ (line: 2)
```




Datetime objects serialize directly to ISO-8601 format YAML strings:


```python
print(as_document(equivalent_data, schema).as_yaml())

```

```yaml
date: 2016-10-22T00:00:00
datetime1: 2016-10-22T14:23:12+00:00
datetime2: 2016-10-22T14:23:12+00:00
datetime3: 2016-10-22T14:23:12+00:00
```




Valid datetime strings serialize to YAML:


```python
print(as_document({"a": "2016-10-22"}, Map({"a": Datetime()})).as_yaml())

```

```yaml
a: 2016-10-22
```




Serializing invalid datetime string raises exception:


```python
as_document({"a": "x"}, Map({"a": Datetime()}))

```


```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLSerializationError:
expected a datetime, got 'x'
```




Serializing non-string and non-datetime object raises exception:


```python
as_document({"a": 55}, Map({"a": Datetime()}))

```


```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLSerializationError:
expected a datetime, got '55' of type 'int'
```
