Converting string to DateTime using strptime()
Here we are going to convert a simple string into datetime object, for this we will pass the string into strptime() and objectify the datetime object through this.
Python3
from datetime import datetimeinput_str = '21/01/24 11:04:19'dt_object = datetime.strptime( input_str, '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S')print("The type of the input date string now is: ", type(dt_object))print("The date is", dt_object) |
Output:
The type of the input date string now is: <class ‘datetime.datetime’>
The date is 2024-01-21 11:04:19
Create Python Datetime from string
In this article, we are going to see how to create a python DateTime object from a given string.
For this, we will use the datetime.strptime() method. The strptime() method returns a DateTime object corresponding to date_string, parsed according to the format string given by the user.
Syntax:
datetime.strptime(date_string, format)
