Python Development Techdegree Graduate 7,853 PointsI am not understanding why my code is not working for the challenge
import datetime
def to_string(time, form): return time.strftime(form)
def from_string(date, datestr): return datetime.datetime.strptime(date, datestr)
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime
def to_string(time, form):
return time.strftime(form)
def from_string(date, datestr):
return datetime.datetime.strptime(date, datestr)

But the problem is that to_string is only supposed to take one argument, and the string defining the format you want the date converted into should be built into the function..
