[Tutor] Converting String to Datetime

[Ed Singleton]

Nevermind.  i seem to have found the answer in that wonderful PLEAC
site (I always forget about that.

It appears that the following works:

import time, datetime
timestring = "2005-09-01 12:30:09"
time_format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(time.strptime(mytime, time_format)))
