How to convert string to date without time in python

Question

I am converting string to date like this:

date=request.GET.get('date','')
    if date:
        date = datetime.strptime(date, "%m/%d/%Y")
        print date

Prints:

2014-08-08 00:00:00

How can I get the date without 00:00:00?

You have a "datetime" object, hence part of the time.

As @jonrsharpe mentioned in his comment, this

print date.date()

(ISO output)

or print date.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')

in your input format.
