Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strptime'

This type of error occurs when the strptime method called on module instead of class:

If your import statement is like below :

import datetime

Then you need to access strptime method like below:

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")
