Parse date string and change format
datetime module could help you with that:
datetime.datetime.strptime(date_string, format1).strftime(format2)For the specific example you could do
>>> import datetime>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('Mon Feb 15 2010', '%a %b %d %Y').strftime('%d/%m/%Y')'15/02/2010'>>>
You can install the dateutil library. Its parse function can figure out what format a string is in without having to specify the format like you do with datetime.strptime.
from dateutil.parser import parsedt = parse('Mon Feb 15 2010')print(dt)# datetime.datetime(2010, 2, 15, 0, 0)print(dt.strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))# 15/02/2010
convert string to datetime object
from datetime import datetimes = "2016-03-26T09:25:55.000Z"f = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ"out = datetime.strptime(s, f)print(out)output:2016-03-26 09:25:55
