from_string Challenge

Good evening (again)!

I hope it's ok to ask many of these questions but it helps me to understand things more.

I am stuck at this: (Part 2/2) https://teamtreehouse.com/library/dates-and-times-in-python/dates-and-times/strftime-strptime

And my code looks like this:

import datetime


def to_string (datetime):
    date=datetime.strftime("%d %B %Y")
    return date

def from_string(string1, format1): 
    date2=datetime.strptime(string1,format1) # it has to be something with strptime but I don't know how to pass those arguments right in
    return date2

Thanks in Advance

Hello!

You forgot to import the class datetime itself, you're just importing the datetime module. So, you could just add this at the top of your code:

from datetime import datetime

Or in the function itself:

date2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(string1, format1)

Cheers!
