How to Convert String to DateTime in Python

In order to convert a String to a DateTime object in Python we need to make use of the datetime module,

Example:

import datetime

string_date1 = '2022-03-22'
print(string_date1)

datetime_object1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(string_date1, '%Y-%m-%d')
print(datetime_object1)

string_date2 = '2022-03-22 10:10:12.345678'
print("String: " +string_date2)

datetime_object2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(string_date2, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
print(datetime_object2)

Output:

2022-03-22
2022-03-22 00:00:00
String: 2022-03-22 10:10:12.345678
2022-03-22 10:10:12.345678
