How can I parse parse date with time and miliseconds in Python?

Question

I want to convert a datestring into another date format.

The datestring

2014-11-20T00:00:00.000Z

datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z').strftime('%Y%m%d')

time data '2014-11-20T00:00:00.000Z' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z'

I can read the error message but I cannot find the right format that matches the datestring.

To include the millisecond paramater use this: datetime.datetime.strptime(d, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ').strftime('%Y%m%d')
