Sorry, I should have been clearer. I want to parse the date and create a 
'date object' that is a part of larger object (I'm parsing a text file that 
represents the larger object and the date is a part of it).

So my question should probably be: is there a better way to parse the date 
and generate the 'date object' than the two step 

 w = strptime(d,'%Y-%m-%d')
 datetime.date( w[0], w[1], w[2] )

Since I'm new to many things in Python I'm trying to learn if there is a 
"better" way of doing things.
