I have strings that look like this: "16-Jul-8"

I want to convert them to something like: 16/07/08

datestr = datefields[0]+"-"+datefields[1]+"-"+datefields[2]
dt = datetime.datetime(datestr)
dt.strftime('%d-%m-%y')

I keep coming up empty...

it's so easy,

from datetime import datetime
function = lambda date_str: datetime.strptime(date_str, "%y-%b-%d").strftime("%y/%m/%d")
print function("16-Jul-8")

You can read python's documentations from here.
