title: Parsing non-zero padded timestamps in Python
body: <p>I want to get datetimes from timestamps like the following :<code>3/1/2014 9:55</code> with <code>datetime.strptime</code>, or something equivalent.</p>
  
  <p>The month, day of month, and hour is not zero padded, but there doesn't seem to be a formatting directive listed <a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior">here</a> that is able to parse this automatically.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best approach to do so?  Thanks!</p>
