This is the string of the episode airstamp:
"airstamp":"2013-06-24T22:00:00-04:00"
The "-04:00" part at the end is the UTC offset right? If so, would it be possible to return it in the conventional "-0400" format without the colon?
It'll be easier and more elegant to handle parsing that way instead of manipulating that entire string.
I can't change this without potentially breaking it for all existing users, or we'd have to create a whole new API version.
The format we use is consistent with ISO 8601, so any sane date-time library should understand it. :)
Turns out that python default datetime does not support that. Weird. Obviouslly there are other options which i'll use.
Thanks for the reply!
That's very strange! I'll keep it in mind for if we ever redo this part in the future :)
well python dateutil handles it without a problem.
