dateutil is your friend:

>>> import dateutil.parser

>>> dt=dateutil.parser.parse('Tue May 15 2018 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)')
datetime.datetime(2018, 5, 15, 0, 0, tzinfo=tzoffset('EDT', 14400))

>>> dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
'2018-05-15'

You can try:

from datetime import datetime

    date_converted = datetime.strptime(time_string, '%Y-%m-%d')

  • The question specifically asks for the given format. This does not work with the provided string. It would help if you adjusted the format for the one given in the question. – cisnjxqu May 02 '18 at 19:41
