Please i have been trying hours for this:
try:
datetime.strptime(date, '%d m% %Y')
date = date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
except:
print( "<h2>date not propetly entered." )
sys.exit(0)
===========================
the user enters 21 02 2013
a) i just need to check if its in accepted format
b) then truncate the given date to mysql format
That's all i want to do and i cant make it work. Plese tell me how to write this.
I have tried anything i can think of.
