I always get an error. It does not matter what I try. The worst is, it does not tell me what my error is. It just says 'Bummer!' all the time.
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(f'{datetime}', "%d-%M-%Y")

The method you want is strftime. Cleaning up the rest of the code:
- donβt use library
datetime
name as parameter name. Try dtime - no space between function name and paren
- use instance method `datetime.strftime()
- use correct format string, B for full month name, "%d-%M-%Y"
