You should have a look at moment which is a python port of the excellent js lib momentjs    One advantage of it is the support of ISO 8601 strings formats  as well as a generic    format     import moment time string  2012-10-09T19 00 55Z   m   moment date time string    Y- m- dT H  M  SZ   print m format  YYYY-M-D H M   print m weekday   Result   2012-10-09 19 10 2

You can use dateutil parser parse  install with python -m pip install python-dateutil  to parse strings into datetime objects  dateutil parser parse will attempt to guess the format of your string  if you know the exact format in advance then you can use datetime strptime which you supply a format string to  see Brent Washburne s answer   from dateutil parser import parse  a    quot 2012-10-09T19 00 55Z quot   b   parse a   print b weekday      1  equal to a Tuesday
