python - unable to solve strptime() issue even after trying all the formats

Question

I'm using the following code:

data['Input_volTargetStart'][1]>time.strptime(data['Dates'][1], "%d %b $y")

When I try to run it, I get this error:

ValueError: time data '04-Jun-99' does not match format '%d %b $y'

I have tried possibly all combinations but am unable to get the result for this conversion.

Answer 1

You can actually put the dashes ('-') as part of the format, i.e "%d-%b-%y".
