Summary
Add documentation of the %f field to convert microseconds in the time library.
Details
On this webpage (https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/time.html), the discussion of strptime and the conversion fields used (%H for hour, %Y for year, etc) doesn't include mention of the %f field to match microseconds. On my system, this is needed to convert back and forth from datetime to time.struct_time.
For example, the command sequence:
now = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()
print (now)Yields: 2024-02-12T00:18:44.621471+00:00
To convert this to unix time or the python time tuple, I need to use the strptime format string of "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z"
In short, I advocate adding a brief discussion of the %f field, perhaps just in the table, to this section of the documentation.
This probably impacts documentation for other versions of python too.
Thank you!
