1,605 PointsPython date format conversion
I'm failing to figure out where i'm getting it wrong on this challenge:
import datetime
Examples
to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
def to_string(datetime): return datetime.datetime.strptime(datetime, '%d %B %Y')
import datetime
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
def to_string(datetime):
return datetime.datetime.strptime(datetime, '%d %B %Y')

231,275 PointsSince you're starting with a datetime object, I think you meant to use strftime
instead of strptime
.
You would use strptime
when you were starting with a string and wanted to create a datetime from it. You'll get a chance to do that in the next task.
