Kinterbasdb probably expects the format looking like
month/day/year
rather than
year-month-day
I have an old pythoncard app where there was the same issue
when picking a date using the wx.calendar widget,
Rearranging the format solved the problem.
here is the relevant code snippet ,maybe it gives you the idea:
def on_doCalDate_command(self,event):
# this the way to get a wx.calendar date into a
# format suitable for kinterbasdb
D=[]
MYDATE=str(self.components.Calendar1.date)
SPLITDATE=MYDATE.split('-')
for data in SPLITDATE:
D.append(data)
YR=D[0]
MO=D[1]
DY=D[2]
JOBDATE=MO+"/"+DY+"/"+YR
