[Solved] Errors running python code, attribute error for datetime and strptime type error [closed]

by


Install python3 so that you and your tutor are on the same page.

However, if you do decide to stick with python 2.7, this will fix your problem.

Your problem is in this line

#Ask the user for the date of their deadline
strDeadline = input("Please enter the date of your deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): ")

Here’s an example of what I mean

>>> input()
5
5
>>> input()
10/2
5
>>> input()
10/2/2016
0

python is thinking that your date is arithmetic division of integers. change input() to raw_input() to accept the string.

i.e.

strDeadline = raw_input("Please enter the date of your deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): ")
