Formatting a date time string read from a csv file

[Gribouillis]

>>> from datetime import datetime
my_datetime ='2023-06-15 07:26:50'
>>> my_date = datetime.strptime(my_datetime, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S').date()
>>> my_date
datetime.date(2023, 6, 15)
>>> my_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
'2023-06-15'

Also if you only want the string

>>> my_datetime ='2023-06-15 07:26:50'
>>> my_datetime.split()[0]
'2023-06-15'
