How to convert date format using python

I want to convert the date format from Wed Aug 16 2017 to 16/08/2017

Here is the code I tried:

datetime_object = datetime.strptime(newList[0], '%a %b %d %Y').date()
datetime_object = datetime.strptime(str(datetime_object), '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%d/%m/%y')

print datetime_object

Try this

import datetime
dateTime = datetime.datetime.strptime("Wed Aug 16 2017", "%a %b %d %Y")
print dateTime.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')

This gives you datetime object object, out of that you can format it however you want
