When using the function GXDateTime.toUnixTime

GXDT = GXDLMSClient.changeType(Var1, DataType.DATETIME)
DT = GXDT.toUnixTime(GXDT)

Got an error in the module:

"GXDateTime.toUnixTime isinstance() arg 2 must be a type or tuple of types"

I propose to change
isinstance(value, (datetime))
on
isinstance(value, type(datetime))

@classmethod
def toUnixTime(cls, value):
___if isinstance(value, type(datetime)):
______return value.utctimetuple()
___if isinstance(value, (GXDateTime)):
______return value.value.utctimetuple()
___return int(value.value / 1000)

And check the reverse conversion. I haven't used or tested it...

Hi,

Hi,

You are right. There is an issue on toUnixTime. It should be like this:

if isinstance(value, (datetime.datetime)):

This is fixed and the new version is released today.

BR,
Mikko
