Example 1: convert into date python
from datetime import datetime
datetime_str = '09/19/18 13:55:26'
datetime_object = datetime.strptime(datetime_str, '%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S')
print(type(datetime_object))
print(datetime_object)
Example 2: convert into date python
date_str = '09-19-2018'
date_object = datetime.strptime(date_str, '%m-%d-%Y').date()
print(type(date_object))
print(date_object)
Example 3: convert date string to date time string python
import datetime
date_time_str = '2018-06-29 08:15:27.243860'
date_time_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_time_str, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
print('Date:', date_time_obj.date())
print('Time:', date_time_obj.time())
print('Date-time:', date_time_obj)
