Extract day of year and Julian day from a string date

Question

I have a string \"2012.11.07\" in python. I need to convert it to date object and then get an integer value of day of year and also Julian day

Answer 1

From the above examples, here is the one liner (non-Julian):

import datetime

doy = datetime.datetime.strptime('2014-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d').timetuple().tm_yday
