replace() takes no keyword arguments

Question

I'm trying to find the first day of the month in python

<form method="GET" action="">
  <input name="range2" type="date"/>
  <input type="submit"/>
</form>

to_date = request.GET.get('range2')    
from_date = to_date.replace(day=1)

but i got this error : replace() takes no keyword arguments

Answer 1

What type is to_date ? Do print(type(to_date)) - if its a str , it is going to use str.replace, which takes no kwargs. This would throw an error here. :)
