title: how would I parse this with datetime(python)
body: <pre><code>{'dateTime': '2020-12-31T08:00:00-05:00'}
  </code></pre>
  <p>my attempt:</p>
  <pre><code>start = &quot;{'dateTime': '2020-12-31T08:00:00-05:00'}&quot;
  start_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(start, &quot;{'dateTime': '%Y-%m-%dT%I:%M:%S-05:00'}&quot;
  print(start_obj)
  </code></pre>
