#40 AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'year'

[David Camperos]

Hi,

I have an issue where I cannot export xs:date field types.

I am trying to set a xs:date type from a yyyy-mm-dd str:

applicant_info.set_BirthDate("2000-12-31")

Then when I export it to an XML I get this error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'year'

The xsd defines BirthDate this way:

<xs:element name="BirthDate" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0" />

The error is present also with other xs:date types in the xsd.

Am I loading the date wrongly?

Here is the full log:
