Here's one way: >>> import time, datetime >>> s = '20/01/2005 15:10:01' >>> time_tuple = time.strptime(s, "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S") >>> datetime.datetime(*time_tuple[:6]) datetime.datetime(2005, 1, 20, 15, 10, 1) http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime-datetime.html http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html Raymond -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
