df string manipulation before / after / when single digit pad zero

[metalray]

Hi snippsat,
Many thanks for your reply.
Is there a way to try parsing it, if it doesnt parse, then it doesnt.
I have dates that contain strings or even months as strings in different languages.
It would be good if no exception is thrown, when the parsing fails.

    d=datetime(1984, 1, 'May', 0, 0)
    d.strftime(f'{d:%d/%m/%Y}')
    print(d)
