You can use the datetime.datetime.strptime() function to create a datetime object, then datetime.datetime.strftime() to return your correctly formatted date like so:

from datetime import datetime
dt = datetime.strptime('2015-04-08T07:52:00Z', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
print dt.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')

You can use easy_date to make it easy:

import date_converter
converted_date = date_converter.string_to_string('2015-04-08T07:52:00Z', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', '%d/%m/%Y')

you should probably use a single namespace e.g., `easy_date.string_to_string` (create a package and import the corresponding names, see how [`asyncio`](https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/9dfda4e7169a/Lib/asyncio/__init__.py) or `numpy` do it). – jfs May 09 '15 at 21:45
