Re: [Tutor] Message 'list' object has no attribute 'strptime ?

Title: Signature.html

Further info. If I put     y = time.strptime("11 01 05", "%H %M %S") both in the function and in the main body. Only the line above in the function produces an error message. Here's a simple program that creates the problem. import datetime def verify_time(in_time):     time = in_time.split(":")     if len(time) <> 3:         print         print "Invalid format. Try again. hh:mm:ss, hh is 24 hour time."         return False     y = time.strptime("11 01 05", "%H %M %S")     print y, "Yes, y"     hour,minute,second = time     fmt_time = hour+" "+minute+" "+second     print "FMT TIME:", fmt_time     x = time.strptime(fmt_time, "%H %M %S")     print "fmt time:", fmt_time     try:         time.strptime(fmt_time, "%H %M %S")         nhour   = int(hour)         nminute = int(minute)         nsecond = int(second)     except:         print         print "Invalid date values or format (hh:mm:ss): ", in_time         print "Valid examples: 15:55:02, 8:20:5"         print "Invalid examples: 14: 2:33, 7:11: 4, 11::7"         return False         return True y = time.strptime("11 01 05", "%H %M %S") atime = "11:12:13" print verify_time(atime) Wayne Watson wrote: The line     x = time.strptime(fmt_time, "%H %M %S") with fmt_time = "11 12 40" in function produces the msg: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Sandia_Meteors\Improved_Sentinel\Sentinel_Playground\Utility_Dev\SU_DateTimeAdjust.py", line 209, in ?     if not verify_time(bump_time):   File "C:\Sandia_Meteors\Improved_Sentinel\Sentinel_Playground\Utility_Dev\SU_DateTimeAdjust.py", line 69, in verify_time     x = time.strptime(fmt_time, "%H %M %S") AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'strptime' However, in another function the line   x = time.strptime(fmt_date, "%m %d %Y") with fmt_date = "10 02 2008" works just fine. Does my format string in strptime for time have a problem? If I use the shell to set fmt_time and x = time.strptime(fmt_time, ..., I have no trouble.  -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
