How to Validate a Date Using Python (Simple)

How to Validate a Date Using Python (Simple)

Greetings, today I am here with a simple Python date validation tutorial. We will attempt to convert a date as a string to a datetime object. If the conversion works, the date is valid. If it fails, the date is invalid. We can specify the date format we are looking for. In this tutorial we use: '%d/%m/%Y', which is a UK date format, eg: 29/04/2014. You can swap this format with any you desire.

Thanks for watching this Python date validation tutorial.
