使用熊猫时间戳似乎是最快的：

import pandas as pd

N = 1000

l = ['Jun 1 2005  1:33PM'] * N

list(pd.to_datetime(l, format=format))

%timeit _ = list(pd.to_datetime(l, format=format))
1.58 ms ± 21.6 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

其他解决方案

from datetime import datetime
%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: datetime.strptime(x, format), l))
9.41 ms ± 95.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

from dateutil.parser import parse
%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: parse(x), l))
73.8 ms ± 1.14 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

如果字符串是ISO 8601字符串，请使用csio8601：

import ciso8601

l = ['2014-01-09'] * N

%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: ciso8601.parse_datetime(x), l))
186 µs ± 4.13 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)

这将有助于将字符串转换为datetime和时区：

def convert_string_to_time(date_string, timezone):

    from datetime import datetime
    import pytz

    date_time_obj = datetime.strptime(date_string[:26], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
    date_time_obj_timezone = pytz.timezone(timezone).localize(date_time_obj)

    return date_time_obj_timezone

date = '2018-08-14 13:09:24.543953+00:00'
TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
date_time_obj_timezone = convert_string_to_time(date, TIME_ZONE)

In [34]: import datetime

In [35]: _now = datetime.datetime.now()

In [36]: _now
Out[36]: datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 19, 9, 47, 0, 432000)

In [37]: print _now
2016-01-19 09:47:00.432000

In [38]: _parsed = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(_now),"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")

In [39]: _parsed
Out[39]: datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 19, 9, 47, 0, 432000)

In [40]: assert _now == _parsed

如果您只需要日期格式，则可以通过传递单个字段（如：

>>> import datetime
>>> date = datetime.date(int('2017'),int('12'),int('21'))
>>> date
datetime.date(2017, 12, 21)
>>> type(date)
<type 'datetime.date'>

您可以传递拆分字符串值，将其转换为日期类型，如：

selected_month_rec = '2017-09-01'
date_formate = datetime.date(int(selected_month_rec.split('-')[0]),int(selected_month_rec.split('-')[1]),int(selected_month_rec.split('-')[2]))

您将获得日期格式的结果值。

您可以使用easy_date简化操作：

import date_converter
converted_date = date_converter.string_to_datetime('Jun 1 2005  1:33PM', '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p')

#Convert String to datetime
>>> x=datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005', '%b %d %Y').date()
>>> print(x,type(x))
2005-06-01 00:00:00 <class 'datetime.datetime'>


#Convert datetime to String (Reverse above process)
>>> y=x.strftime('%b %d %Y')
>>> print(y,type(y))
Jun 01 2005 <class 'str'>
