Something like this perhaps.<br />
<br />
I don't see anything that allows/supports the -700 though<br />

<pre><code id="code-329390">datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( time.mktime( time.strptime( '05/15/2009', '%m/%d/%Y' ) ) ) 
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( time.mktime( time.strptime( '20 May 2009 23:09:31 -0700', '%d %b %Y %H:%M%S ' ) ) )
</code></pre>

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( time.mktime( time.strptime( '05/15/2009', '%m/%d/%Y' ) ) ) 
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( time.mktime( time.strptime( '20 May 2009 23:09:31 -0700', '%d %b %Y %H:%M%S ' ) ) )


<div>
What if the -0700 Is dymanic? &nbsp;If it is not always -0700?

Then you would have to remove it...<br />
<br />
That part of a date stamp is the local offset from GMT, so should stay the same, unless you are moving your machine. <br />
<br />
One way to remove it would be shown below.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the grade &amp;&nbsp;points.<br />
<br />
Good luck &amp;&nbsp;have a great day<br />

<pre><code id="code-329457">&gt;&gt;&gt; ds = '20 May 2009 23:09:31 -0700'
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds = ' '.join( ds.split( ' ' )[ 0:-1 ] )
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds
'20 May 2009 23:09:31'

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have two strings that I want to convert into date and datetimes...<br />
1) 05/15/2009<br />
2) 20 May 2009 23:09:31 -0700<br />
<br />
I am going the route of using datetime.datetime.fromtime<wbr />stamp(time<wbr />.mktime(ti<wbr />me.strptim<wbr />e(dd, &quot;%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S&quot;))) <br />
<br />
please write the two lines of code that I need for each string I want to convert..<br />
<br />
Thanks

Python - convert string to datetime

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
