Hi
can any one pls help me with convering and formating the variable timeset so my cod can work.
it works only if i replace the timeset variable with the date.
import datetime
# to get today's date
today = datetime.date.today()
timeset = "2020, 5, 29"
# code works when i put the date of timeset variable here
thedate = datetime.date(timeset)
# to get delta in days form today (this is an absolute value)
delta = today - thedate
print(f"The delta is {delta.days} days")
if delta.days > 0:
print("dags")
elif delta.days < 365:
print("inte dags")
Couple things. Don't use commas in your timeset, and use a different function for the conversion. The following works:
import datetime
from datetime import datetime as dt
# to get today's date
today = datetime.date.today()
timeset = "2020 05 29"
# code works when i put the date of timeset variable here
thedate = dt.strptime(timeset, '%Y %m %d').date()
# to get delta in days form today (this is an absolute value)
delta = today - thedate
print(f"The delta is {delta.days} days")
if delta.days > 0:
print("dags")
elif delta.days < 365:
print("inte dags")
import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
thedate = datetime.date(2020, 5, 29)
delta = today - thedate
print(f"The delta is {delta.days} days")Output:
The delta is 730 days

Yes i know this was the only way i could make it work and this was how the code looked originally . I wrote it but mayby i did not make it clear. my bad. I need to use a variable with the date in this code its how this bit of code is going in to the bigger code.
