How to convert a date format (YYYY-MM-DD) to (YYYY,MM,DD) in Python

OR, I have a date = 2020-06-11 which I want to convert into seconds.

Works: d2 = (dt.datetime(2020,6,30) - t0).total_seconds()

Fails: d2 = (dt.datetime(2020-6-30) - t0).total_seconds()

How do I do it?

If you need to cast a string to a datetime object, you can use strptime for this.

from datetime import datetime

t = datetime.strptime('2020-06-11', '%Y-%m-%d')
