python error in datetime

have a function

import datetime    
def myfun():
      string_date = '2016-11-03'
      myTime =datetime.datetime.strptime(string_date, "%Y-%m-%d")

in TC 12 (nothing else in the script)

This gives me error:-

 

TypeError attribute of type 'NoneType' is not callable

 

this dos not happen only for first time I open TC 

any Idea?

    It is known Python problem not related to TestComplete.

    https://bugs.python.org/issue27400

     

    The workaround is to use alternate version of strptime. It is mentionned in documentation :
    Conversely, the datetime.strptime() class method creates a datetime object from a string representing a date and time and a corresponding format string. datetime.strptime(date_string, format) is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])).

     

    import datetime
import time

def myfun():
  string_date = "2016-11-03"
  format = "%Y-%m-%d"
  try:
      res = datetime.datetime.strptime(string_date, format)
  except TypeError:
      res = datetime.datetime(*(time.strptime(string_date, format)[0:6]))
  Log.Message(res)
