Should be:

from datetime import datetime


try:
     datetime.strptime( date, '%d %m %Y' )

That parses the date and discards the result.

     date = date.strptime( '%Y-%m-%d' )

'date' is a string, it doesn't have a 'strptime' method.

When you parsed the date you got a datetime object; _that_ has the
'strptime' method.

except ValueError:
     print( "<h2><font color=red>H ημερομηνία πρέπει να εισαχθεί στην σωστή μορφή => 
21 05 2013!" )
     sys.exit(0)

Hello, a have an html that among other thing require the user to insert a valid 
date.
The user must enter a date like "21 02 2013"

a) first i need to check if the entered date was inserted properly as above
b) convert the entered date to '%Y-%m-%d' which is an appropriate mysql date 
type format.

Also it would be nice if i could check the user entered date within an if 
statement like i check all my other fields instead of creating an extra ;try' 
statemnt just for checking tha date

=================================
if( task and ( price and price.isdigit() and price.__len__() <= 3 ) and ( date 
and datetime.strptime(date, '%Y-%m-%d') ) ):
=================================

I want it to be written like the above, but if the user entered date is not 
valid somehow i need to catch the exception otherwise the cgi-script displays 
python errors.
