Question

I need to compare 2 dates with a IF, but for some strange (:P) reason, I can’t do it.
My code

date1 = strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
d2 = os.path.getmtime('/tmp/file')
date2 = datetime.date.fromtimestamp(d2)
if date1 == date2 :
    print 'same date'
else:
    print 'different date'

I don’t know why, show with a print the same date, but, with this IF shows ‘different date’
Maybe is a newbie question, sorry !

Thank you !

Answer 1

date1 is a string, and date2 is a datetime.date. Perhaps you meant date1 = datetime.date.today().
