# How to convert string into datetime in Python?

To convert a string into a datetime object in Python, you can use the `datetime.strptime()` function. This function allows you to specify the format of the input string, and it will return a `datetime` object that corresponds to the input string.

Here is an example of how you can use `strptime()` to convert a string into a `datetime` object:

```python
from datetime import datetime

date_string = "2022-01-25 13:00:00"
date_format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

date_object = datetime.strptime(date_string, date_format)

print(date_object)
```

This will output the following `datetime` object: `2022-01-25 13:00:00`.

You can also use the `dateutil` module to parse strings into `datetime` objects. The `dateutil.parser.parse()` function is able to parse a wide range of string formats, and it can handle ambiguous strings (e.g. "Jan 1 2022") without the need to specify a format string. Here is an example of how you can use `dateutil` to parse a string into a `datetime` object:

```python
from dateutil import parser

date_string = "2022-01-25 13:00:00"

date_object = parser.parse(date_string)

print(date_object)
```

This will output the following `datetime` object: `2022-01-25 13:00:00`.
