Use the appropriates format codes

day = "09FEB2017"
d = datetime.strptime(day, "%d%b%Y")
print(d)         # 2017-02-09 00:00:00
print(d.date())  # 2017-02-09

from datetime import datetime

day = "09FEB2017"
datetime_object = datetime.strptime(day, '%d%b%Y')

does the trick.

  • I tried to mark this as duplicate but was unable to do so. I pasted the link here which clearly explains how strings of different types can be converted to date, but somehow feels that it offended someone. Anyways, maybe half info is better than complete knowledge. – Arpit T Dec 27 '21 at 13:59
