Greeting: I have been trying to determine the day of

Running Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 16.04. Thanks.
===========================================
# A_Weekday.py
from datetime import date
year = "2018"
monthdate = raw_input ("Enter the month and date (MDD or MMDD): ")
print

month = monthdate[0:1]
month = "0" + month
day = monthdate[1:3]
else:
month = monthdate[0:2]
day = monthdate[2:4]
print month, day, year; print
print year, month, day; print
datecode = year + month + day
print datecode
print
answer = datetime.date(year, month, day).weekday()
print answer
==================================================
Error message below:
Enter the month and date (MDD or MMDD): 211
02 11 2018
2018 02 11
20180211
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'datetime' is not defined
There's no need for the `datetime` as you've imported `date` directly
into the namespace. Correct that problem and you'll still fail as
you're passing strings instead of integers. I'd just force your
`monthdate` to be MMDD and pass that into `strptime` with `year`.
>>> year = '2018'
>>> monthdate = '0211' # skipping the input code.
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime(year + monthdate, '%Y%m%d')
datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 11, 0, 0)
>>> datetime.strptime(year + monthdate, '%Y%m%d').weekday()

Thanks. I already got it up and running. Much appreciated.
