AttributeError: 'datetime' module has no attribute 'strptime'
class, python, python-2.7
Solution
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")
Problem
Here is my `Transaction` class: ``` class Transaction(object): def __init__(self, company, num, price, date, is_buy): self.company = company self.num = num self.price = price self.date = datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d") self.is_buy = is_buy ``` And when I'm trying to run the `date` function: ``` tr = Transaction('AAPL', 600, '2013-10-25') print tr.date ``` I'm getting the following error: ``` self.date = datetime.strptime(self.d, "%Y-%m-%d") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime' ``` How can I fix that?
