Parse a string with a date to a datetime object [duplicate]

by

On the whole you’d parse date and time strings with the strptime functions in time or datetime modules. Your example could be parsed with:

import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime("01-Jan-1995", "%d-%b-%Y")

Note that parsing month names is locale-dependent. This table shows the directives for parsing various formats of dates and times.
