Hi I am trying to convert this string in Python : '2019-01-10' into date format as 2019-01-10

I have tried this code :

from datetime import datetime

date_time_str = '2019-01-10'

date_time_obj = datetime.strptime(date_time_str, '%y-%m-%d )

but i have a ValueError : time data '2019-01-10' does not match format '%y-%m-%d'

Can you help me please ?

%y format specifier is 2 digits, use uppercase %Y. Ref: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes
