1) why are you using input and raw_input? Are you trying to use them as
breakpoints?

2) Do you understand what t.strftime is doing? It is trying to access an
attribute of t (a tuple) called 'strftime'. A tuple does not have an
attribute by that name, so it throws an AttributeError. You probably want

print strftime("Day %w of the week a %A . Day %d of the month (%B).", t)
#this checks globals() for an attribute called strftime
