Datetime strptime in python

Question

I\'ve tried the following code :

import datetime
d = datetime.datetime.strptime(\"01/27/2012\", \"%m/%d/%Y\")
print(d)

and the output is :

Answer 1

datetime.strptime(date_string, format) function returns a datetime object corresponding to date_string, parsed according to format. When you print datetime object, it is formatted as a string in ISO 8601 format, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
