Python datetime.strptime with Korean locale on Windows
To use the datetime.strptime
function with a Korean locale on Windows, you need to set the locale for the datetime
module to the Korean locale before parsing the date string. Here's an example:
pythonimport locale
from datetime import datetime
# Set the Korean locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'ko_KR.utf8') # Use 'ko_KR.utf8' for UTF-8 encoding
# Date string in Korean format
date_string = '2023년 7월 20일'
# Parse the date string
parsed_date = datetime.strptime(date_string, '%Y년 %m월 %d일')
# Print the parsed date
print(parsed_date)
Make sure to set the correct locale identifier for the Korean locale. In the example above, 'ko_KR.utf8'
is used for UTF-8 encoding. If you are using a different encoding, adjust the locale identifier accordingly.
Note that the availability of the Korean locale may depend on your system configuration. If the Korean locale is not available, you may need to install additional language packs or configure the locale settings on your Windows system.
Additionally, ensure that the date string matches the format specified in the strptime
function. In the example above, the format is specified as '%Y년 %m월 %d일'
, which corresponds to the Korean date format with year, month, and day components.
By setting the Korean locale and providing the correct date format, you should be able to parse Korean date strings using datetime.strptime
on Windows.
