  • You can find the list of codes [in the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes) – mozway Mar 23 '22 at 12:58

You can use the parser in dateutil.

from dateutil import parser
my_date = parser.parse('Mon Mar 14 05:21:08 UTC 2022')
print(my_date) # datetime.datetime(2022, 3, 14, 5, 21, 8, tzinfo=tzutc())

Just to explicitly provide the corresponding format code for that timestamp

>>> datetime.strptime('Mon Mar 14 05:21:08 UTC 2022', '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y')
datetime.datetime(2022, 3, 14, 5, 21, 8)

  • Problem with this is that %Z *accepts* "UTC" but doesn't do anything with it - so resulting datetime object is naive and thus represents local time – FObersteiner Mar 23 '22 at 13:31
