Ben, I do not have python 2.6 install, my version of Python is 2.4. Because of my version of Python I believe I have to perform what you have suggested:
This should, ideally, consist of two separate operations: * parse the string, using a specific format, to create a ‘datetime’ object * create a string representation of the datetime using your preferred string format So I guess I am stuck on parsing the string "24/Nov/2009:12:00:00 -0500" using regex and or string function to get the output to "2009-11-24 12:00:00". It looks like I may have to use regex to accomplish this and also re-map Nov to "11". Does any one have any idea that would take "24/Nov/2009:HH:MM:SS" and format it to "2009-11-24 HH:MM:SS"?
