trouble with time --again

Hey there,
could someone show me where i am going wrong here?
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> date1 = '2005-01-01 8:20:00'
>>> date1 = strptime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',date1)[/color][/color][/color]

raise ValueError("time data did not match format: data=%s fmt=%s" %
ValueError: time data did not match format: data=%Y-%m-%d%H:%M:%S
fmt=2005-01-01 8:20:00

i have looked over the strptime and strftime over and over, dont get
where i am missing it here.

thanks

Try:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> date1 = strptime(date1, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')[/color][/color][/color]

I think you have the data and format strings swapped.

Now don't go and do that. Mistakes happen.

Hi !


Try :

import datetime
date1 = datetime.datetime(2005,01,01,8,20,0)
print date1.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
