Date in Python

Posted: Feb 27, 2004 5:42 PM

>>>s='1978-12-11'
>>>s[:4],s[6:8],s[8:]

now I wanted to create a date object with it. so I imported the datetime object using

>>>import datetime

then I tried to create a date object

I am get this error

>>> x=date(int(s[:4]),int(s[5:7]),int(s[8:]))

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in -toplevel-
x=date(int(s[:4]),int(s[5:7]),int(s[8:]))
NameError: name 'date' is not defined

Any help?
