[python] type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

I have gotten the following error:

type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

On the following line:

date = datetime.datetime(int(year), int(month), 1)

Does anybody know the reason for the error?

I imported datetime with from datetime import datetime if that helps

Thanks

I run into the same error maybe you have already imported the module by using only import datetime so change form datetime import datetime to only import datetime. It worked for me after I changed it back.

If you have used:

from datetime import datetime

Then simply write the code as:

date = datetime(int(year), int(month), 1)

But if you have used:

import datetime

then only you can write:

date = datetime.datetime(int(2005), int(5), 1)

For python 3.3

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
futuredate = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=10)

I found this to be a lot easier

from dateutil import relativedelta
relativedelta.relativedelta(end_time,start_time).seconds

from datetime import datetime
import time
from calendar import timegm
d = datetime.utcnow()
d = d.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")
utc_time = time.strptime(d,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")
epoch_time = timegm(utc_time)

You should use

date = datetime(int(year), int(month), 1)

Or change

from datetime import datetime

to

import datetime

You should really import the module into its own alias.

import datetime as dt
my_datetime = dt.datetime(year, month, day)

The above has the following benefits over the other solutions:

• Calling the variable my_datetime instead of date reduces confusion since there is already a date in the datetime module (datetime.date).
• The module and the class (both called datetime) do not shadow each other.
