print year
Did I do the slice incorrectly? I thought that when you take the first
location (0) of a list then it would take the "cyear" in stead of just
the "c".
When debugging this kind of thing insert some print statements
to check what date2 and check_year really look like. Or try using
the >>> prompt to experiment until you are happy with the behaviour
of the function with differernt sample data.
