How to convert a date string to different format

I need to convert date string "2013-1-25" to string "1/25/13" in python. I looked at the datetime.strptime but still can't find a way for this.
I assume I have import datetime before running each of the lines of code below datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y') prints "01/25/13". If you can't live with the leading zero, try this: dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d') print '{0}/{1}/{2:02}'.format(dt.month, dt.day, dt.year % 100) This prints "1/25/13". EDIT: This may not work on every platform: datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')
