Hey guys, in this blog we will see a Python Program to Convert String to Datetime.
For a detailed python, DateTime tutorial check out this blog – Python Program to get the current date and time
Example 1: Using the DateTime module
from datetime import datetime my_date_string = "Oct 04 2022 01:33PM" datetime_object = datetime.strptime(my_date_string, '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p') print(type(datetime_object)) print(datetime_object)
Output
<class 'datetime.datetime'> 2022-10-04 13:33:00
- We have used the datetime.strptime() method here to parse our string to datetime dtype.
- We have to mainly provide 2 arguments, the date string and the format in which our string date is.
Example 2: Using the dateutil module
from dateutil import parser
date_time = parser.parse("Oct 04 2022 01:33PM")
print(date_time)
print(type(date_time))
Output
2022-10-04 13:33:00 <class 'datetime.datetime'>
- Here we have used the dateutil python module to convert our string date to a datetime object.
- In this case we don’t have to provide the format as we did in the first example.
