Time data does not match format

I am using a script that someone else created (and another person has been using successfully for months), and I can't figure out this error:
Exception has occurred: ValueError
time data '2022-12-28 14:43:08.908271' does not match format '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p' (match)
File ". . .\res-script.py", line 19, in <module>
end = pd.to_datetime(yesterday, format="%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p").normalize()
I'm trying this and still getting the same error:
today_date = datetime.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
yesterday = datetime.today()
end = pd.to_datetime(yesterday, format='%Y-%m-$d %H:%M:%S').normalize()

After a few people pointing out the obvious, we have it fixed! Either of these will work:
end = pd.to_datetime(yesterday, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f').normalize()
or
end = pd.to_datetime(yesterday).normalize()

ValueError: time data 'None' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f'

For the node 'TransactionDate' i have a logic before updating it for policy"POL000002NGJ".
The logic i am trying to implement is If existing 'TransactionDate' < than today, then add 5 days with current value and parse it to xml.
Transaction Date Format in XML : 2020-03-23T10:56:15.00
Please Note that, If i parsing the DateTime value like below, It works good But i dont want to hardcode the value... I want to Parse it as a string object to handle for any datetime in format ""%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f""...
# <TransactionDate>
today = datetime.now()
TransactionDate = doc.find('TransactionDate')
Date = '2020-03-24T10:56:15.00'
previous_update = datetime.strptime(Date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
if previous_update < today:
today = previous_update - timedelta(days=-5)
TransactionDate = today.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
Below code while parsing it as a DateTime Object, I have an issue.. I got struck here and referenced other answers in stackoverflow and python forums, But still i got struct up here and unable to resolve the issue...
if any help to fix will be a great helpful. Thanks. Below code using lxml and getting help to support below code will helpful. Because i already completed for other nodes. My understanding is Date variable is calling as None.. But struck here to fix.. Please help..
# <TransactionDate>
today = datetime.now()
TransactionDate = doc.find('TransactionDate')
Date = str(TransactionDate)
previous_update = datetime.strptime(Date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
if previous_update < today:
today = previous_update - timedelta(days=-5)
TransactionDate = today.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
Full Code is Below
from lxml import etree
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import random, string
doc = etree.parse(r'C:\Users\python.xml')
# <PolicyId> - Random generated policy number
Policy_Random_Choice = 'POL' + ''.join(random.choices(string.digits, k=6)) + 'NGJ'
# <TransactionDate>
today = datetime.now()
TransactionDate = doc.find('TransactionDate')
Date = str(TransactionDate)
previous_update = datetime.strptime(Date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
if previous_update < today:
today = previous_update - timedelta(days=-5)
TransactionDate = today.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
#Parsing the Variables
replacements = [Policy_Random_Choice , TransactionDate ]
targets = doc.xpath('//ROW[PolicyId="POL000002NGJ"]')
for target in targets:
target.xpath('./PolicyId')[0].text = replacements[0]
target.xpath('.//TransactionDate')[0].text = replacements[1]
print(etree.tostring(doc).decode())
Sample XML
<TABLE>
<ROW>
<PolicyId>POL000002NGJ</PolicyId>
<BusinessCoverageCode>COV00002D3X1</BusinessCoverageCode>
<TransactionDate>2020-03-23T10:56:15.00</TransactionDate>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PolicyId>POL111111NGJ</PolicyId>
<BusinessCoverageCode>COV00002D3X4</BusinessCoverageCode>
<TransactionDate>2020-03-23T10:56:15.00</TransactionDate>
</ROW>
</TABLE>

Maybe the find method is wrong. Try this one
# <TransactionDate>
today = datetime.now()
TransactionDate = doc.xpath('//ROW/TransactionDate') # Change find to xpath
Date = str(TransactionDate[0].text) # Use the first one
previous_update = datetime.strptime(Date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")

Setting datetime inside QDateTimeEdit widget

I have to set the date and time available as a string in the following format.
"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"
cur_time = strftime("%H:%M:%S", gmtime())
cur_date = DATA[1]
date_time = cur_date+" "+cur_time
now = QtCore.QDate.fromString(date_time, '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S')
self.dateTimeEdit.setDate(now)
But this is not working.

The format of date and datetime is different from the format of QDate and QDateTime, you should not use% in the Qt format, check the docs for more detail:
Assuming DATA[1] has a format %Y/%m/%d as you try to use, you can use the following code:
cur_time = strftime("%H:%M:%S", gmtime())
cur_date = "2018/11/10"
date_time = cur_date+" "+cur_time
now = QtCore.QDateTime.fromString(date_time, 'yyyy/M/d hh:mm:ss')
self.dateTimeEdit.setDateTime(now)

Python & Tweepy - How to compare and change times.

I am trying to create a number of constraints for some other code based on twitter handle sets.
I am having issues with the following code because:
TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to str
It seems that even though I have changed Last_Post to a datetime object initially, when i compare it to datetime.datetime.today() it is converting to string. Yes, I have checked the to ensure that Last_post is converting properly. Im not really sure what is going on. Help?
for handle in handles:
try:
user = api.get_user(handle)
#print json.dumps(user, indent = 4)
verified = user["verified"]
name = user['name']
language = user['lang']
follower_count = user['followers_count']
try:
last_post = user['status']['created_at']
last_post = datetime.strptime(last_post, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y')
except:
last_post = "User has not posted ever"
location = user['location']
location_ch = location_check(location)
if location_ch is not "United States":
location_output.append(False)
else:
location_output.append(True)
new_sum.append(follower_count)
if language is not "en":
lang_output.append(False)
else:
lang_output.append(True)
if datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=30) > last_post:
recency.append(False)
else:
recency.append(True)

I think you need to convert the twitter date to a timestamp:
import time
ts = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.strptime(tweet['created_at'],'%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y'))

Transform datetime in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS[.SSSSSS]]

I'm receiving this error:
Could not parse 'event_date' as a timestamp. Required format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS[.SSSSSS]]
from BigQuery when I'm trying to insert a row.
This is my code:
bigquery_client = bigquery.Client.from_service_account_json(CREDENTIALS_BIGQUERY, 'roas-164016')
dataset = bigquery_client.dataset(BQ_LOGS_DATASET_NAME)
table = dataset.table(BQ_EMAIL_SENDS_TABLE_NAME)
data = {}
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
data['send_id'] = 'test'
data['uid'] = 'test'
data['account_id'] = 'test'
data['subaccount_id'] = 'test'
data['event_id'] = 'test'
data['event_date'] = now
data['html_content'] = 'test'
data['campaign_name'] = 'test'
data['subject'] = 'test'
data['send_type'] = 'test'
json_data = json.dumps(data)
data = json.loads(json_data)
table.reload()
rows = [data]
errors = table.insert_data(rows)
How can I fix the date formatting?

If that's literally what you need.
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M[:%S[.%f]]")
More likely, the square brackets indicate optional parts. So:
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
or
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
or
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")

format your date into this YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
meaning the month day hour minutes and second should be in two digits format.
sample:
2018-02-16 04:39:05 Correct
2018-2-16 4:39:5 wrong
Happy coding!
