Currently we're getting date and time as time.struct_time tuple which is pretty inconvenient.

It's better to convert that to the time.datetime to be able to use nice formatting options (like strftime() or isoformat() out of the box.

# Use time.mktime() to convert the time tuple (in localtime) into seconds since the Epoch, then use datetime.fromtimestamp() to get the datetime object

from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime

dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(mktime(struct))
