How can I subtract 7 days from my entered date, April 22? I expected to get April 15.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
date = str(input('Enter ATP date(Format Mmmmm Dd): '))
prev_date = date - timedelta(days=7)
error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'datetime.timedelta'

Method 1
This should do the trick
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
date = str(input('Enter ATP date(Format Mmmmm Dd): '))
date = datetime.strptime(date, "%B %d")
prev_date = (date - timedelta(days=7)).strftime('%B %d')
