You should use datetime object, not str.
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> cr_date = datetime(2013, 10, 31, 18, 23, 29, 227)
>>> cr_date.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
'10/31/2013'
To get the datetime object from the string, use datetime.datetime.strptime:
>>> datetime.strptime(cr_date, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
datetime.datetime(2013, 10, 31, 18, 23, 29, 227)
>>> datetime.strptime(cr_date, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f').strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
'10/31/2013'
you should change cr_date(str) to datetime object then you 'll change the date to the specific format:
cr_date = '2013-10-31 18:23:29.000227'
cr_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(cr_date, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
cr_date = cr_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")
