In the date variable, you are receiving several dates in string as array, want to bring the smallest

cont = 0
menor_data = datetime.strptime('31/12/2300', '%d/%m/%Y')
while cont < len(datas):
    data_d = datetime.strptime(datas[cont], '%d/%m/%Y').date()
    if data_d < menor_data:
        menor_data = data_d[cont]
    cont = cont + 1
print(menor_data)

Returns the following error:

Traceback (Most recent call last):

in

if data_d < menor_data:

    In this case, the error message tells you exactly what is happening. I do not know if it is productive a complete answer - the connection is that you try to read the error message. If you don’t even know English, use an automatic translator (but it can get worse, since the translator won’t know what a class name is and what a phrase is)

    in your variable menor_data tries to put the method . date() to return the same type you are creating inside while. They must be of the same type, or datetime or date.

They must be of the same type, or datetime or date.
