I'd say you have a calendar.py script somewhere along your sys.path, 
that shadows the calendar module in the standard library.



And to find it, you could try the following:

import datetime
print calendar.__file__

I suspect you have more problems than just that file, but perhaps 
finding that one can tell you what extra package you've got installed 
that shadows parts of the standard library.  Try temporarily renaming it 
to see if the problem goes away.

datetime string conversion error

2010-03-16 Thread Jordan Apgar
Hey all,
I'm trying to convert a string to a date time object and all my fields
convert except for month which seems to default to january.

here's what I'm doing:
date = 2010-03-16 14:46:38.409137
 olddate = datetime.strptime(date,%Y-%m-%j %H:%M:%S.%f)

print date
print olddate

I get:
2010-03-16 14:46:38.409137
2010-01-16 14:46:38.409137

notice the 01 in the second date from what I could tell everything is
formatted correctly.

thanks for the help.
~Jordan

%j is documtend as Day of the year as a decimal number [001,366].. Did
you mean %d instead?

The problem seems to be related to your use of %j, which parses the
day of the year.

If I use %d instead, which parses the day of the month (I think that's
what you intended!), then the month comes out as 3 as expected.

err... what? Is this an old weirdness I don't remember from the 2.5
series?

I can select dates in the calendar, but nothing dismisses it but the
close box.
