<s>[INST] Converting string into datetime Short and simple. I've got a huge list of date-times like this as strings:
Jun 1 2005  1:33PM
Aug 28 1999 12:00AM

I'm going to be shoving these back into proper datetime fields in a database so I need to magic them into real datetime objects. 
Any help (even if it's just a kick in the right direction) would be appreciated.
Edit: This is going through Django's ORM so I can't use SQL to do the conversion on insert.
 [/INST] from datetime import datetime

date_object = datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005  1:33PM', '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p')

Link to the Python documentation for strptime
and a link for the strftime format mask
This is also a really nice reference for stftime
