What makes you think they are strings? I would expect to see quote signs if they were strings but there are no quotes... > CF = lambda date: datetime.strptime(bytes.decode(date), > %m/%d/%Y).strftime(%Y-%m-%d) # convert data > > CF1 = lambda time: datetime.strptime(bytes.decode(time), > %H:%M).strftime(%H:%M:%S) # convert time But both of these lambdas return strings (strftime) You parse the date/time from the bytes then call strftime on the result which returns a string. But also you don't have quotes around your format strings so you should get a syntax error.
