input() does not do what you think it does. You want raw_input().
raw_input() takes a string to prompt the user with and returns the
string the user enters.
You'll then pass the string to time.strptime() (along with a format
string) to parse it into a time tuple. You'll then pass part of the
time tuple to the datetime.date() constructor to get a date object.

> global t

'global' declarations are only allowed (and only make sense) inside a
function. Remove the above line.

Based on some of the errors you've made, I'd recommend reading through
Python's fine tutorial before going any further:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html

Cheers,
Chris
