Answer by SuperNova for Converting string into datetime

In Python >= 3.7.0,

to convert YYYY-MM-DD string to datetime object, datetime.fromisoformat could be used.

>>> from datetime import datetime

>>> date_string = "2012-12-12 10:10:10"
>>> print (datetime.fromisoformat(date_string))
>>> 2012-12-12 10:10:10
