Try using the datetime module to check validity of entered data. example: >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime(2008, 12, 32) # should be an error, there are only 31 days in December!

You can also use it to check if the input is in the future. >>> userdate = datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 1) >>> datetime.datetime.now() > userdate # a check to see if userdate is in the past.
