from datetime import datetime
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date
dt_str='2014-5-11'
dt_strq='2014-9-11'
dt_datea = datetime.strptime(dt_str, '%Y-%m-%d').date()
dt_dateb = datetime.strptime(dt_strq, '%Y-%m-%d').date()
dt_diff = dt_dateb - dt_datea
print dt_diff.days
I am getting below excption
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FunctionUpdate.py", line 204, in <module>
dt_dateb = datetime.strptime(dt_strq, '%Y-%m-%d').date()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/_strptime.py", line 328, in _strptime
data_string[found.end():])
ValueError: unconverted data remains:
I think it's great that you reduced a 200+ line program into a 9 line
simple case. that's always a good idea, and frequently it helps you
solve your own problem, reducing it for public comment.
But the other requirement is that you actually test that the code you
show produces the error you show. It does not, probably because those
strings in the literals are not exactly what you had in the original.
