Thanks for feedback and suggestions. Below is the function split in 2.
def convertToString(value, dateformat):
print value
if type(value) == int:
return str(value)
else:
try:
return strftime(dateformat, value)
except TypeError:
return value
def convertFromString(value, dateformat):
try:
return int(float(value))
except ValueError:
try:
return strptime(value, dateformat)
except:
return value
