What precisely is missing? You have to write the correct format string, but SO isn't here to spoon feed you. — jonrsharpe

Use python datetime module, something like this :

from datetime import datetime

date_str = '2017-04-19 00:23'
date_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')

# To get a particular part of the date in a particular format such as "Wednesday" for the "Datetime Object"
print(date_obj.strftime('%A'))

print(date_obj.strftime('%c'))

This will result in :

Wednesday
Wed Apr 19 00:23:00 2017

Check out the documentation.
