Altering 2 statements from Python 2.6 => 3.2

[Íßêïò Ãêñ33ê]

Hello folks,

With what do i need to replace:

 

[Chris Angelico]

date = date.strftime('%A, %e %b %Y').decode('cp1253').encode('utf8')

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.

I had to use it like that in order for date to be appear correctly in greekotherwise it would seem like chinese.

So now you mena i dont have to decode anym ore and use it liek that?

date = date.strftime('%A, %e %b %Y').encode('utf8')

I mena, or mean, that you have to figure out what you're doing before
you try to figure out how to do it.

Or if you want help, then try providing context, like what data type 'date'is.

(And inb4 someone points out that "it's a date, duh". )

I'am just tryign to print the date with proper greek letters as it uses to work with Python v2.6

date gets calculated here:

date = ( datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=2) ).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' )

I'am not sure but i believe that the decode must be taken out in python 3.xbecause objexts returned in unicoide now, but i'am not sure.
