title: how to convert string to date without time in python
body: <p>I am converting a string to date like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>date=request.GET.get('date','')
      if date:
          date = datetime.strptime(date, "%m/%d/%Y")
          print date
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This prints:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>2014-08-08 00:00:00</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I get the date without the 00:00:00 time?</p>
