Error: attributeerror: module ‘datetime’ has no attribute ‘strptime’ – how to solve it?

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I’ve already lost a couple of days struggling with this. Here is my command line:

class Transaction(object):
  def __init__(self, company, num, price, date, is_buy):
  self.company = company
  self.num = num
  self.price = price
  self.date = datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")
  self.is_buy = is_buy
tr = Transaction('AAPL', 600, '2013-10-25')
 print tr.date

This returns:

self.date = datetime.strptime(self.d, "%Y-%m-%d")
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime'

I don’t have any experience with the “attributeerror: module ‘datetime’ has no attribute ‘strptime’.” In this case, how should I change?

module 'datetime' has no attribute 'strptime'

    The cause: I think this error happens perhaps you did this:

    import datetime

    at the beginning of your code.

    The solution: To solve this problem, you must perform the following:

    datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

    to get a hold of the strptime method. Alternatively, you might change the import statement into:

    from datetime import datetime

    then use it as you normally would.

    Make sure you use the correct call. strptime is a datetime.datetime classmethod, not a datetime function.

    self.date = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.d, "%Y-%m-%d")

    Jon Clements mentioned it in the comments. This would bind datetime to datetime and allow you to start your first code work.

    Look at your import statements to determine which case you are facing in the future.

    • import datetime: That’s the module (that is what you have now).
    • from datetime import datetime: That’s the class.
