Django AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'tzinfo'

Question

I am getting this error at the following code, when I try to get all the objects from my database:

data1 = Data.objects.all()
for dataset in data1:

Here is my model:

class Data(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(db_column='ID', primary_key=True)  # Field name made lowercase.
path = models.TextField(db_column='Path')  # Field name made lowercase.
username = models.ForeignKey('Users', models.DO_NOTHING, db_column='Username')  # Field name made lowercase.
datatype = models.CharField(db_column='Datatype', max_length=20, blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase.
filesize = models.FloatField(db_column='Filesize', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase.
creationdate = models.DateTimeField(db_column='CreationDate')  # Field name made lowercase.
modificationdate = models.DateTimeField(db_column='ModificationDate')  # Field name made lowercase.
diskname = models.CharField(db_column='Diskname', max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase.

class Meta:
    managed = False
    db_table = 'Data'

The full error message is:

Does anybody have any ideas why this comes up?

Answer 1

There is an issue with your data from the DateTimeField field. The data needs to be in common DateTime format.

From the docu: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/forms/fields/#datetimefield

Normalizes to: A Python datetime.datetime object.

Validates that the given value is either a datetime.datetime, \
datetime.date or string formatted in a particular datetime format.

Your data has to match one of the below:

[
    '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',     # '2006-10-25 14:30:59'
    '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f',  # '2006-10-25 14:30:59.000200'
    '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M',        # '2006-10-25 14:30'
    '%Y-%m-%d',              # '2006-10-25'
    '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S',     # '10/25/2006 14:30:59'
    '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f',  # '10/25/2006 14:30:59.000200'
    '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M',        # '10/25/2006 14:30'
    '%m/%d/%Y',              # '10/25/2006'
    '%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S',     # '10/25/06 14:30:59'
    '%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S.%f',  # '10/25/06 14:30:59.000200'
    '%m/%d/%y %H:%M',        # '10/25/06 14:30'
    '%m/%d/%y',              # '10/25/06'
