No, this is exactly what i do not understand.
months = ( '==========', 'Ιανουάριος', 'Φεβρουάριος', 'Μάρτιος',
'Απρίλιος', 'Μάϊος', 'Ιούνιος',
'Ιούλιος', 'Αύγουστος', 'Σεπτέμβριος', 'Οκτώβριος',
'Νοέμβριος', 'Δεκέμβριος' )
This is a tuple containign months. Then we have this:
for i, month in enumerate(months):
print('<option value="%s"> %s </option>' % (i, month) )
i is assiciated to month in similar fashion as a dic's key to it's value
i = the increasing counter after each iteration in the loop
month = just the displayed month.
when iteration happens we get this:
value 0 for month '=========='
value 1 for month 'Ιανουάριος'
.....
.....
value 12 for month 'Δεκέμβριος'
So when '==========' is being selected as month from the user value 0 is
beign returned, but what i need is the string '==========' itself, not
the value.
the year var have no prblem, is the month that always fails the if()
condition branch.
