Why is datetime.strptime not working in this simple example?

Question

I\'m using strptime to convert a date string into a datetime. According to the linked page, formatting like this should work:

>>> # Usi         


        

Answer 1

You should be using datetime.datetime.strptime. Note that very old versions of Python (2.4 and older) don't have datetime.datetime.strptime; use time.strptime in that case.
