I am in the process of writing the dob of a patient to a XML file.
gmCurrentPatient returns a datetime object. Different from a database backend
I cannot store the object in a XML file. I therefore convert it with
pat['dob'].strftime("%x"). This works and puts out a locale formated string
representation. I wonder if there is a way to determine the format datetime
has used in this very case (DDMMYYYY or MMDDYY) ?
When reading in the XML files I need to convert the string representation into
a date (e.g. for examination date).
Which is the best format for storage and reconverting it into a datetime
object ?
I would like to store and read the format used from the XML tag's property.
How do I get the format used ? I would like to avoid hardcoding the format.
Best regards,
Sebastian
