How do you convert YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.000Z time format to MM/DD/YYYY time format in Python?

Question

For example, I\'m trying to convert 2008-09-26T01:51:42.000Z to 09/26/2008. What\'s the simplest way of accomplishing this?

Answer 1

I know this is really old question, but you can do it with python datetime.strptime()

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> date_format = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ" 
>>> datetime.strptime('2008-09-26T01:51:42.000Z', date_format)
datetime.datetime(2008, 9, 26, 1, 51, 42)
