Value error while using datetime.datetime.strptime

I want to covert a string item to the datetime format that I require.

The string item is this : '3/27/2013 2:54:00 PM'

My code is as follows: map(datetime.datetime.strptime,'3/27/2013 2:54:00 PM', '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')

I get the following error : stray % in format '%'

Any help is appreciated.

Not sure why you use map, you can just use strptime on that string, worked for me

import datetime

dt = datetime.datetime.strptime('3/27/2013 2:54:00 PM', '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
print(dt)
