How do you convert YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.000Z time format to MM/DD/YYYY time format in Python?

Question

For example, I\'m trying to convert 2008-09-26T01:51:42.000Z to 09/26/2008. What\'s the simplest way of accomplishing this?

Answer 1

>>> import time
>>> timestamp = "2008-09-26T01:51:42.000Z"
>>> ts = time.strptime(timestamp[:19], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
>>> time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y", ts)
'09/26/2008'

See the documentation of the Python time module for more information.
