Kay... I'm stuck! :(
I keep getting an error that time data xx-xx-xx does not match.
I've searched the forum and the answer that came up is close to mine, but it doesn't pass either.
Help Please.
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime
def to_string(dt):
return dt.strftime("%d %B %Y")
def from_string(date1, date2):
d1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(date1, "%m/%d/%y")
d1 = datetime.datetime.strftime(date2, "%H:%M")
return datetime.datetime.combine(d1, d2)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsAfter much more searching through the Forum... I finally pieced enough together and found I was WAY over-thinking it and WAY over-complicating it.
It all came down to just using one line instead of 3: return datetime.datetime.strptime(date1, date2)
Oh the frustration.... :/
