Django : local variable 'date' referenced before assignment but I import it

Question

I am building a script that use the datetime module :

def workspace_detail(request, token):
yesterday = date.today() -  timedelta(days=1)
tomorrow = date.today() - timedelta(days=1)
quicklink = f"{token}start_date={yesterday}&end_date={tomorrow}"
w_yesterday = quicklink

But I have this error

local variable 'date' referenced before assignment

I imported it every module from the datetime package

from datetime import datetime, date, timedelta

If I use datetime.today() it works, but I want to use the date.today() for my url.

Thanks

Answer 1

Are you using the word "date" as a variable anywhere else in your function or script?.

This happened to me and the fix was to rename any variable named "date" and only use that keyword for the date object.
