P79, Try It Out

Hi,

The book (correctly) starts with:

Code:

import csv
from datetime import datetime

But the downloaded code (incorrectly) starts with:

Code:

import csv, datetime

As a result, strptime (and presumably strftime) are not found and you get:

Code:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime'

I've no idea how that has happened because the zip file that I submitted
clearly has the dual import as per the book.

So my apologies for that, but my code which I tested has a

from datetime import datetime

line.

And certainly to make the code work you need that style of import.

Thanks for confirming Alan.

It was actually quite good; I learn more, probably, in the troubleshooting.
