Python converts one digit day and month to two digits
I am trying to read and convert the following datetime "6/5/2014 00:09:32"
to "Mon Mar 09 07:07:18 +0000 2015"
.
d = datetime.datetime.strptime('6/5/2014 00:09:32', '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S')
Gives me a traceback with:
ValueError: time data '6/5/2014 00:00:07' does not match format '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S'
I tried using% e for single digits as suggested here: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Formatting-Calendar-Time.html#index-strftime-2660 but datetime just says, which does not recognize e.
If I'm missing something, it looks like one-digit days and months, this is my problem, but from the documentation ( https://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html#time.strftime ) 't see a way get python datetime to read single digit days or months. But that seems silly. What am I missing?
Thank you for your help.

You do 'Y'
n't need 'Y'
:
In [412]:
d = dt.datetime.strptime('6/5/2014 00:09:32', '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')
d
Out[412]:
datetime.datetime(2014, 5, 6, 0, 9, 32)
The docs 'Y'
correspond to:
Year with century as a decimal number.
Have you tried 'Y'
which:
Year without century as a decimal number [00.99].
