让我们看看:
>>> import datetime
>>> help(datetime.date)
Help on class date in module datetime:
class date(builtins.object)
| date(year, month, day) --> date object
:
>>> datetime.date(2016,6,22)
datetime.date(2016, 6, 22)
date 不接受字符串。看着help(datetime),strptime 听起来像你想要的:
>>> help(datetime.datetime.strptime)
Help on built-in function strptime:
strptime(...) method of builtins.type instance
string, format -> new datetime parsed from a string (like time.strptime()).
这个函数接受你想要的字符串,但也接受格式。让我们看看time.strptime 对格式化有什么看法:
>>> import time
>>> help(time.strptime)
Help on built-in function strptime in module time:
strptime(...)
strptime(string, format) -> struct_time
Parse a string to a time tuple according to a format specification.
See the library reference manual for formatting codes (same as
strftime()).
Commonly used format codes:
%Y Year with century as a decimal number.
%m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
%d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
%M Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
%S Second as a decimal number [00,61].
%z Time zone offset from UTC.
%a Locale's abbreviated weekday name.
%A Locale's full weekday name.
%b Locale's abbreviated month name.
%B Locale's full month name.
%c Locale's appropriate date and time representation.
%I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
%p Locale's equivalent of either AM or PM.
Other codes may be available on your platform. See documentation for
the C library strftime function.
所以datetime 对象可以从字符串和适当的格式创建:
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('22/06/2016','%d/%m/%Y')
datetime.datetime(2016, 6, 22, 0, 0)
但您只需要date。回头看datetime.datetime的帮助,里面有一个date()的方法:
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('22/06/2016','%d/%m/%Y').date()
datetime.date(2016, 6, 22)
对于您的代码(作为 MCVE):
import datetime
def date_from_string(strdate):
return datetime.datetime.strptime(strdate,'%d/%m/%Y').date()
class Loan:
def __init__(self, person_name, bookLoaned, loanStart, loanEnd):
self.personName = person_name
self.bookLoaned = bookLoaned
self.loanStart = date_from_string(loanStart)
self.loanEnd = date_from_string(loanEnd)
loan1 = Loan('John doe', 'Book Title', "22/06/2016", "22/06/2018")
