You can use the following to initialize a datetime
object instead of using the string above:
datetime.datetime(2004, 12, 3)
Question
Curently I am using this:
from datetime import datetime
startDate = datetime.strptime('03.12.2004', '%d.%m.%Y')
Is there some simpler/Pythonic way ?

OTHER TIPS
Not that shorter is better, but I find it easier to read if you're going to have a lot of lines creating datetimes, of course assuming 'dt' doesn't clash with anything else in your code.
from datetime import datetime as dt
start = dt(2004, 12, 3)
