Django: Convert string to datetime object

Here is the datetime string: dt = '2016-04-07 23:00:00'

I have tried datetime.strptime(year+"-"+day+"-"+month+" "+hour+":"+mins+":"+"00", '%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S') but I get this error:

type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

Try this code, I think this is a good way to convert specific string to datetime:

import datetime 

dt = '2016-04-07 23:00:00'
date_time_object = datetime.datetime.strptime(dt, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print((date_time_object))
print(type(date_time_object))

from dateutil import parser



date_string = '2016-04-07 23:00:00'
date_object = parser.parse(date_string)
