I don't know why but whenever I try and run this code: import calendar import time calendar = calendar.month(2016,6) print ("Loading date, time, month and leap year status") time.sleep(5) print (calendar) localtime = time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time())) print (localtime) if calendar.isleap(2016) == True: print("This year is a leap year") else: print("This year is not a leap year") It come up with: Loading date, time, month and leap year status June 2016 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Fri Jun 24 15:46:12 2016 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Dylan\Desktop\Python\Calendar.py", line 9, in if calendar.isleap(2016) == True: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'isleap' And I don't know why I keep getting error messages

You're overriding the 'calendar' variable, holding the module, by the result of your 'calender.month' call, which happens to be a str. Use a different variable name (e.g. 'result') and the error will disappear. Unrelated, but don't check for 'if x == True' - just do 'if x' and the result will be the same (also allows for any other result than booleans).

Thank you ebarry. I would probably never have figured that out
