  2. Python - Datetime To Hex

Python - Datetime to Hex

Is it possible to convert datetime to hex string? I am using python. For example:

client = GXDLMSClient()
hex_str = "07E705180300000000800000"
dt = client.changeType(hex_str, DataType.DATETIME)
print(dt)

result: 05/24/23 00:00:00:000000

Now I want to convert from 05/24/23 00:00:00:000000 to 07E705180300000000800000.

Is it possible?

Hi, Upgrade to the latest…

Hi,

Upgrade to the latest version. You can convert it to the text with toHex method.

client = GXDLMSClient()
hex_str = "07E705180300000000800000"
dt = client.changeType(hex_str, DataType.DATETIME)
print(dt.toHex(True, False))

BR,
Mikko
