For a start, figure out what you're trying to do. I'm trying to get my
head around this line and I'm not getting anywhere. Is 'date' an
instance of datetime.date()? And whatever it is, why do you then
immediately rebind it? And why decode an arbitrary string using an
arbitrary encoding? And why.... never mind. Start here:

One of Python 3's big features is that it forces you to distinguish
text strings from binary ones.
