Question

After changing the import as a from-import
i’m running into this error:

from datetime import datetime, date, timedelta
today = date.today()
from time import mktime
from feedparser import feedparser
import settings

def check_calendar():
    d = feedparser.parse(settings.personal_calendar_feed)
    for entry in d.entries:
        if(date.fromtimestamp(mktime(entry.date_parsed))==today):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File computer.py", line 734, in <module>
    check_calendar()
  File "computer.py", line 210, in check_calendar
    if(date.fromtimestamp(mktime(entry.date_parsed))==today):
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'fromtimestamp'

Answer 1

It says

AttributeError: ‘function’ object has no attribute ‘fromtimestamp’

in the error. Apparently you may have a function named “date” in your code. Since Python allows you to use any name, and new conflicting names will override the older ones.

Instead, when python can’t find a function from a module or object, it usually says type object has no attribute or module has no attribute, like if I want to call “fromtimes” :

type object ‘datetime.date’ has no attribute ‘fromtimes’

You may want to check your code carefully again.
