format a date in to the format month day, year hour:minute am/pm in python

You can format a date in Python using the strftime() method from the datetime module. Here is an example:

main.py
from datetime import datetime

date_string = "2022-08-31 15:30:00"
date_object = datetime.strptime(date_string, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

formatted_date = date_object.strftime("%B %d, %Y %I:%M %p")
print(formatted_date)
216 chars
8 lines

In this example, we first convert the date string to a datetime object using the strptime() method, which takes two arguments: the date string and a format string that specifies the format of the date string.

Then we use the strftime() method to format the date object using another format string that specifies the desired output format. In the example above, we use the format string "%B %d, %Y %I:%M %p", which produces output like "August 31, 2022 03:30 PM".
