Here is my Transaction
class:
class Transaction(object):
def __init__(self, company, num, date):
self.company = company
self.num = num
self.date = datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
And when I'm trying to instantiate it:
tr = Transaction('AAPL', 600, '2013-10-25')
I'm getting the following error:
self.date = datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime'
How can I fix that?
If I had to guess, you did this:
import datetime
at the top of your code. This means that you have to do this:
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
to access the strptime
method. Or, you could change the import statement to this:
from datetime import datetime
and access it as you are.
The people who made the datetime
module also named their class datetime
:
#module class method
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
