Error in changing string to datetime object

So I have test_date1 = "2017-07-21-10-20" and I want to convert to day1 = datetime.strptime(test_date1, "%y-%m-%d-%h-%M") but I get the following error :

time data '2017-07-21-10-20' does not match format '%y-%m-%d-%H-%M'

What are the proper fields for hours and minutes?

Use capital Y for "century" year.

datetime.strptime(test_date1, "%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M")

Reference: http://strftime.org/

%Y Year with century as a decimal number. 2013

Use capital H for hour. Check this:

datetime.strptime(test_date1, "%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M")

See https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior
