I have file of records delimited by spaces.
I need to import the date string and convert them into date datatypes.
'07/27/2011' 'Event 1 Description'
'07/28/2011' 'Event 2 Description'
'07/29/2011' 'Event 3 Description'
I just discovered that my oDate is not an object, but a structure and
not a date datatype.
I'm stumped. Is there a way to convert a string into a date datatype
for comparisons, equality, etc?
There is. Only not in one step, if you want a date and not a datetime
instance:
>>> import datetime
>>> oDateTime = datetime.datetime.strptime('07/27/2011', '%m/%d/%Y')
>>> oDateTime
datetime.datetime(2011, 7, 27, 0, 0)
>>> oDate = oDateTime.date()
>>> oDate
datetime.date(2011, 7, 27)
>>>
