See Question&Answers more detail:osThe easiest way is to use dateutil.parser.parse() to parse the date string into a timezone aware datetime object, then use strftime() to get the format you want.
import dateutil.parser
d = dateutil.parser.parse('2008-09-26T01:51:42.000Z')
print(d.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')) #==> '09/26/2008'
