I'm just learning, so please excuse my ignorance for what I know is a simple issue...
I'm writing a "Hello, World" type of script to see how things work in python3. I'm asking for input to get a person's birthday, then I want to compare that to "today" and see how many days have past. --code-- from datetime import datetime, date person = input("Enter your name: ") bmonth = int(input("Enter the numerical month you were born: ")) bday = int(input("Enter the numerical day of the month you were born: ")) byear = int(input("Enter the year you were born: ")) today = date.today() -- end -- I know to get what I want, I need to do something like: d0 = date(2008, 8, 18) d1 = date(2008, 9, 26) delta = d0 - d1 print(delta.days) but how do I replace the "2008, 8, 18" and "2008, 9, 26" with *my* values? I've tried several things (which I can't remember all of) but usually end up with an error like this: ... delta = (b - a) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str' -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
