All, I know there is a datetime module for converting and manipulate date format. I have this string date format: 24/Nov/2009:10:39:03 -0500 and would like to convert it to a date format of "2009-11-24 10:39:03". At the moment I am reading datetime module trying to find out if I could do it with datetime module. Does any one know of a way besides slashing my way through it using string split function?
Use datetime.datetime.strptime() to parse the string; you'll need to remove the timezone from the string first. The format you need to provide is the same one you'd use if you were creating the string from a datetime. Then call the .strftime() method of the resulting datetime object, providing the appropriate format to create the new string. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
