This is how far I am.

# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime
to_string(datetime):
return datetime.strptime('2012-09-24', '%d-%b-%Y')

14,242 PointsYou're not far at all, in fact, you're at the beginning. In the previous video, Kenneth literally solves this challenge in the first two mins of the video. Do this;
1) Watch the video again.
2) Go to Python strftime reference sheet for strftime formatting strings.
3)
import datetime
def to_string(datetime):
return datetime.strptime('2012-09-24', '%d-%b-%Y')👈# Just use the strftime formatting ("%d %b") instead
If you need further help, let me know.
