I suggest testing your code at the interactive prompt, so something like.

c:\Users\Mark>python
Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600 32 
bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from datetime import datetime
 >>> date = '21 02 2013'
 >>> date = datetime.strftime(date, '%Y-%m-%d')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: descriptor 'strftime' requires a 'datetime.date' object but 
received a 'str'

Cheers.
