If I had to guess, you did this:
import datetime
at the top of your code. This means that you have to do this:
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
to access the strptime
method. Or, you could change the import statement to this:
from datetime import datetime
and access it as you are.
The people who made the datetime
module also named their class datetime
:
#module class method
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
