python 日期相减得天数差

import  datetime
def  straight_minus():
    date1 = ''
    date2 = ''
    flag = 3
    while (1):
        date1 = (input("please input the fisrt date like,format like 20180808: \n\t"))
        date2 = (input("please input the fisrt date like,format like 20180808: \n\t"))
        if (len(date1) != 8 or len(date2) != 8): ##简单的控错误输入
            if (flag > 0):
                print("wrong input,plz do it again，U can still input %d times" % (flag))
                flag = flag - 1
            else:
                print("no chance ,exit~~~")
                exit()                           #输入错误，跳出程序
        else:
            print("jump out circulation ")
            break                            #break 跳出循环，继续执行下面的语句
    date1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(date1, "%Y%m%d")
    date2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(date2, "%Y%m%d")
    print("the date1 is " ,date1)
    print("the date2 is " ,date2)
    minus = abs(date1 - date2)
    print("the interval is " ,minus)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    straight_minus()
    print("do you calculate rightly")

由字符串格式转化为日期格式的函数为: datetime.datetime.strptime()
strptime() 函数根据指定的格式把一个时间字符串解析为时间元组
