Python parse with strptime - Month Day Hours:Minute:Seconds Year Timezone - Does not match format
I'm having issues parsing "Mar 3 03:00:04 2019 GMT" with python's (datetime.datetime.strptime). I can't figure out what the issue is. At first I thought it was because the day was not zero padded, but according to the docs I found that is not the case.
import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime("%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %Z", "Mar 3 03:00:04 2019 GMT")
I've tried removing and adding whitespace to the format string. I've also tried going without the timezone specifier to no luck. The format I'm trying to parse comes from the ssl socket method getpeercert.

ValueError: time data '%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %Z' does not match format 'Mar 3 03:00:04 2019 GMT'
What is the correct format string I should be using?

datetime.datetime.strptime(date_string, format)
The exact syntax should be as above. Changing the order of arguments would work.
datetime.datetime.strptime("Mar 3 03:00:04 2019 GMT","%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %Z")
datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 3, 3, 0, 4)
