Hi,
I want to parse a date and change the format using python. Date has the format like 'Mon Feb 15 2010' and i want to change the format into '15/02/2010'. Any one can help me.
Thanks in advance. Nimmy

A:
datetime module could help you with that:
datetime.datetime.strptime(date_string, format1).strftime(format2)

datetime.datetime(Mon Feb 15 2010, "%a %b %d %Y").strftime("%d/%m/%Y")Is it correct ? but i got an error.

@nimmyliji: You saw the "string" part, right?

@nimmyliji: it was fixed 10 minutes before you posted your comment. and of course you should have `date_string` as a string.

for the error above nimmyliji you should have donedatetime.datetime.strptime("Mon Feb 15 2010", "%a %b %d %Y").strftime("%d/%m/%Y")it gives '15/02/2010'

A:
>>> from_date="Mon Feb 15 2010"
>>> import time
>>> conv=time.strptime(from_date,"%a %b %d %Y")
>>> time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y",conv)
'15/02/2010'
