Python Date Conversion. How to convert arabic date string into date or datetime object python

Question

I have to convert this date into normal date string/object.

١٩٩٤-٠٤-١١ to 11-04-1994.

Answer 1

To create a date object from the arabic date string:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from datetime import date

d = date(*map(int, u"١٩٩٤-٠٤-١١".split('-')))
# -> datetime.date(1994, 4, 11)
