not sure what i am missing here...
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime
def to_string (datetime1):
new_date = datetime1.strftime("%d %B %Y")
return new_date
def from_string (date_string, strftime1):
date_object = datetime.strptime(date_string, strftime1)
return date_object

It should be sufficient to change your first line to from datetime import datetime, but the challenge does not accept that as a solution. Instead, you can change date_object = datetime.strptime(date_string, strftime1) to date_object = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_string, strftime1)
