What to do when "TypeError: must be string, not int…" appears when using strptime

Background and problems

I thought it would be useful to have a script that automatically enters the date of attendance management. I wrote the following using strptime of python's datetime module.

Kinkyu.py


input_date = input('Please enter the year and month to create(Example:201608):')

try:
    month_first = datetime.datetime.strptime(input_date, '%Y%m')
except ValueError:
	    input('Enter the year and month as 201608.')
	    sys.exit()

Then, the following error occurs when entering the year and month.

month_first = datetime.datetime.strptime(input_date, '%y%m')
TypeError: must be string, not int

Cause

that? I thought and looked it up Apparently, the first argument of strptime is a character string. You can't use numbers ...

approach

If the int type is NG, why not convert it to a String type? I thought I changed it as follows.

Kinkyu.py


input_date = input('Please enter the year and month to create(Example:201608):')
input_date = str(input_date) #Changes: Convert numbers to strings

try:
    month_first = datetime.datetime.strptime(input_date, '%Y%m')
except ValueError:
	    input('Enter the year and month as 201608.')
	    sys.exit()

This is the solution. Type conversion is easy with python.
