Python datetime does not match format

Question

I went through datetime python page, and other related pages, but unable to get this thing to work.

I have the following string that I want to convert to python date object.

May 29, 2018 10:40:06 CDT AM:

I use the following to match, but python2.7 is giving me doesnt match error.

datetime_object = datetime.strptime(line, '%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %Z %p:')

It seems as though CDT is not a valid timezone name as it works with GMT.

>>> str(datetime.strptime('May 29, 2018 10:40:06 GMT AM:', '%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %Z %p:'))
'2018-05-29 10:40:06'

from dateutil import parser
print (parser.parse("May 29 13:40:06  CDT 2018"))

Output
