Python datetime format conversion

Question

I am writing a small python program. Here I am getting date in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format (Time is in 24 hour format here Example: 2015-11-05 21:23:45). I have to convert it to this format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM

Example: 10/26/2015 4:00 AM

I tried many date libraries but could not find any. May I know how to do this?

Yea, show us what you tried. Seems like `datetime` is the obvious library. — RobertB, Nov 04 '15 at 17:53
*"I tried many date libraries but could not find any"* - how did you try them if you couldn't find them? There's one in the standard library! — jonrsharpe, Nov 04 '15 at 17:54
@jonrsharpe I couldn't find library which does this. That's what I meant. — sklearning, Nov 04 '15 at 17:56
@sklearning given that there's one in the standard library that will do it, I find that really hard to believe - see https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html — jonrsharpe, Nov 04 '15 at 17:58
`strftime()` is what you are looking for. It's in the time and datetime modules — SirParselot, Nov 04 '15 at 17:59

import time
t = time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p")
print(t)

Here's a link to more time formatting codes that may help.
