How do I fix the error while trying to use datetime.strptime to convert a string to a datetime object?

date_str = "2024-04-19 15:30:00"
datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

I attempted to convert a string to a datetime object using the datetime.strptime() method in Python. I expected the method to parse the string according to the specified format and return a datetime object. However, I encountered an error regarding the format string.

Your code is incomplete, please provide a fully reproducible code and the error.
Below a complete Python3 code to use the strptime method.
Notice the first line, it imports the datetime class from the datetime module.

from datetime import datetime

date_str = "2024-04-19 15:30:00"
datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print(datetime_obj)
