Octopus Agile emoncms app

I believe that Octopus use (correctly) ISO-8601

And I didn’t say otherwise. What I said was that it was inconsistent and should use +00:00 for consistency.

@BigJacko

and the parser should handle them without trouble.

Assume nothing.

As I have said before, Python does not translate the Z correctly and always uses it as local time. It is a feature not a bug.

Treating of time in Emoncms - UTC or BST

Not processing Z might still be a bug is a feature Issue 35829: datetime: parse "Z" timezone suffix in fromisoformat() - Python tracker. You need to test it yourself. Potentially simply replace the Z for +00:00 in the string first. [edit] datetime.fromisoformat(my_date.replace('Z', '+00:00')) [edit Nov 2023] It occurs to me this will create erroneous results if DST is in effect. I think the Z should just be removed so the time is assumed to be local time when converted.
