I know the correct answer should be 001, but I keep getting 179 which is the correct answer for June 28, 2014 (I think). I tried using datecode in various places instead of today but I am still getting 179. Currently using Ubuntu 12.04.4 and Python 2.7. Thanks for any feedback and suggestion.

PROGRAM DISPLAY:

# datefind 03.py

import datetime

datecode = "20140101" # from database on file

month = datecode[4:6]
day  = datecode[6:8]
year  = datecode[0:4]
datecode = year + "-" + month + "-" + day
today = datecode
print today
print

print "Day of year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%j")


TERMINAL DISPLAY:

2014-01-01

Day of year:  179
