Hi Khayreddine,

Note the difference between:

%y - Year without century [00,99]." %Y - Year with century." So, I think  you need to use capital "Y" instead of "y" to format your date, also, insure that the date to convert with strptime function is in String Format: datetime.datetime.strptime(date_in_string_format, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Hope this was helpful
