Use the correct call  strptime is a classmethod of the datetime datetime class  it s not a function in the datetime module   self date   datetime datetime strptime self d    Y- m- d       As mentioned by Jon Clements in the comments  some people do from datetime import datetime  which would bind the datetime name to the datetime class  and make your initial code work   To identify which case you re facing  in the future   look at your import statements   import datetime  that s the module  that s what you have right now   from datetime import datetime  that s the class

If I had to guess  you did this   import datetime   at the top of your code   This means that you have to do this   datetime datetime strptime date    Y- m- d     to access the strptime method   Or  you could change the import statement to this   from datetime import datetime   and access it as you are   The people who made the datetime module also named their class datetime    module  class    method datetime datetime strptime date    Y- m- d

I got the same problem and it is not the solution that you told  So I changed the  from datetime import datetime  to  import datetime   After that with   the help of  datetime datetime  I can get the whole modules correctly  I guess this is the correct answer to that question

[python] AttributeError: 'datetime' module has no attribute 'strptime'
