not sure you're wanting do, take in dd/mm/yyyy , tell if it's older now.

import time # input date = input("enter date: ") # convert timestamp date_timestamp = time.mktime(time.strptime(date, "%d/%m/%y")) # check if in future if(date_timestamp > time.time()): print("it's in future,") else: print("it's not in future,")
