How to convert a date string to different format [duplicate]

by

I assume I have import datetime before running each of the lines of code below

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')

prints "01/25/13".

If you can’t live with the leading zero, try this:

dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d')
print '{0}/{1}/{2:02}'.format(dt.month, dt.day, dt.year % 100)

This prints "1/25/13".

EDIT: This may not work on every platform:

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')
