Python, Convert 9 tuple UTC date to MySQL datetime format

I am parsing RSS feeds with the format as specified here: http://www.feedparser.org/docs/date-parsing.html

date tuple (2009, 3, 23, 13, 6, 34, 0, 82, 0)

I am a bit stumped at how to get this into the MySQL datetime format (Y-m-d H:M:S)?

How do I convert a datetime to a specific date in python?

Use datetime. strftime(format) to convert a datetime object into a string as per the corresponding format . The format codes are standard directives for mentioning in which format you want to represent datetime. For example, the %d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S codes convert date to dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss format.

tup = (2009, 3, 23, 13, 6, 34, 0, 82, 0)
import datetime 
d = datetime.datetime(*(tup[0:6]))
#two equivalent ways to format it:
dStr = d.isoformat(' ')
#or
dStr = d.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
