Convert datetime object to a String of date only in Python

Question

I can see a lot of changing over a date string to a DateTime object in Python, however I need to go the alternate way. 

I have 

datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 23, 0, 0)

also, I might want to change it over to string like '2/23/2012'.

Answer 1

Try using strftime, which will help you to format your date

For example:

import datetime

t = datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 23, 0, 0)

t.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')

output:

'02/23/2012'
