I am fetching data from an API that comes in iso formated strings, for ex - example 2022-07-27T00:00:00.0000000 01:00
end_date=item['RunDate']
start_time=portion['StartTimeWTT']
I am trying to format the date to look like: yyyy-mm-dd and time hh:mm:ss I have tried different solutions but none of them works
end_date1=train['RunDate']
end_date=datetime.date().strftime(end_date1,'%Y-%M-%d')
or datetime.fromisoformat
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

For me, the easiest way to handle date strings is by using the dateutil library. For example in your cited case:
from dateutil import parser
from dateutil.utils import default_tzinfo
from dateutil.tz import tzoffset
tx = '2022-07-27T00:00:00.0000000 01:00'
tz_data = tzoffset("EST", 0)
print(default_tzinfo(parser.parse(tx) , tz_data))
yields
2022-07-27 00:00:00 01:00
