Thanks for the suggestion. It did not help however. My code is modified from the code that I found at the following web site: http://initd.org/tracker/pysqlite/wiki/basicintro The difference is that the examples on the above website use the x =raw_input =('enter a value) syntax
I tried this to and got some strange behavior, like if I entered a value like "3333333" it would give me a similar error message, counting out the number individual tokens as the number of values supplied in the error message. Only when I entered a single character at the raw input prompt could I get it to work. What I am really trying to do is find a straightforward way to update a datetime.date field of a data base. I will continue to search for an answer. Any help will be appreciated. again thanks for your response.
