Parse user given date in Python [duplicate]

Question

I am reading a CSV file in Python. In one of the columns, the date is given in a format and I want to convert it to a different one as shown below.

Input - 15th November 2016 11:00pm
Output - 2016-11-15 23:00:00

The difficult part in this would be getting the initial format, as I don't believe Python has a formatter for st/nd/rd/th, so you might need to replace this first and then use an initial format like '%d %B %Y %I:%M%p'. — Stephen B

Yeah. I was stuck at the first part. But I thought there must be some library or Pythonic way to do that. — Pattu

You'd be looking for something like this, I had a look through and it covers most of what your looking for. I'd write the code, but I'm on my phone, and phone coding ain't fun with a tiny keyboard.
