I'm trying to format the date of an email using python2.7. The value of date is like

Date: "Tue, 9 Apr 2019 11:49:26 -0400"

Here's the code:

"date": datetime.strptime(d_items['Date'], '%a,%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z').strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

While stripping the timezone and formatting I'm getting the below error using datetime.datetime function.

'z' is a bad directive in format '%a,%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z'

Is there any other way to get the format like below:

2019-04-09 11:49:26

Where is code that you have used for *stripping the timezone and formatting*? – shaik moeed May 31 '19 at 04:53
I got the solution using dateutil.parser.parse() which was not supported in datetime.strptime() – MSR May 31 '19 at 06:22
