I have a string like this: Monday April 27 2020, 5:14pm
And I want to convert it to date time in python to become: 24-Apr-2020 5:14pm
Would python be able to do that?

from datetime import datetime
str_time = "Monday April 27 2020, 5:14pm"
formatted_time = datetime.strptime(a,"%A %B %d %Y, %I:%M%p")
new_str_representation = formatted_time.strftime("%d-%a-%Y %I:%M%p")

For this, you can use datetime, specifically on this behaviour.
from datetime import datetime
a = "August 10, 2022"
b = datetime.strptime(a, '%B %d, %Y') # Converts to datetime format
c = b.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') # Converts from datetime to desired format
print(c)
# output
2022-08-10

How can I get the the import function to convert the date into a European date ? Example: (‘4/7/14’) returns ‘07/04/12’
import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
print(today)
that is what datetime.strftime is for. have a look at the format codes to get your desired result.
for example:
import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
print(today.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) # 2020-12-02
print(today.strftime("%a %d %b %Y")) # Wed 02 Dec 2020
print(today.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")) # 02/12/2020

I have datetime a string "20160713161212".
It is a datetime in string with format YYYYMMDDHHIISS

I think that's what you are looking for:
from datetime import datetime
dt = datetime.strptime('20160713161212', '%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
new_dt = dt.strftime("%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")

I have two dates:
Sat Mar 15 19:47:17 +0000 2014
2014-03-12 19:50:22.159411+00:00
I need to compare these two dates but I get the error
TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to unicode
How should I convert one of them?
The easiest method is to use the 3rd party dateutil lib, and do:
from dateutil.parser import parse as parse_date
unicode_text = 'Sat Mar 15 19:47:17 +0000 2014'
dt = parse_date(unicode_text)
# 2014-03-15 19:47:17+00:00
if dt == other_datetime:
# do something

I get the client timestamp as Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:53:35 GMT
I want to convert this into a python utc timestamp so that I can subtract it and get remaining number of days in month
def get_days_left_in_month(from_date):
# todo : how to validate if from_date is valid?
start_day, end_day = Day.get_start_end_days_for_year_and_month(
from_date.year, from_date.month
)
remaining_days = (end_day - from_date).days
return remaining_days if remaining_days == 0 else remaining_days - 1
How can I do this using python?
Try this
import time
a = "Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:53:35 GMT"
time.strptime(a, "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
And have a look here for available formats.
