python datetime module and if statements -

i beginner making small project calculate something. need program use numbers depending on date. want program if manufacturing date between 2 dates. want know how use if statement datetime module? have far:

import datetime manufacturingdate = input('manufacturingdate: ') manufacturingdate = datetime.datetime.strptime(manufacturingdate,"%d/%m/%y")  if (manufacturingdate >= datetime.date(1/1/2001) , manufacturingdate <= datetime.date(31/1/2008)):     #do 

you need 2 boundary dates compare them against input date. can use datetime.strptime did input date.

then apply if statement see if date in interval:

from datetime import datetime  date_format = "%d/%m/%y"  manufacturing_date = input('manufacturing date: ') manufacturing_date = datetime.strptime(manufacturing_date,date_format)  if (datetime.strptime("1/1/2001", date_format) <= manufacturing_date < datetime.strptime("31/1/2008", date_format)):     #do
