Quick guidance on AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'date' error msg

[kaiwei]

Hi all, I am (very) new to python and trying my best to get the importers up and running (Thanks Red!) but I am encountering some error messages which I unfortunately cannot understand. Some pointers or tips on where I went wrong will be very much appreciated!

From my rough understanding, it seems to have something to do with dates - but I do think I've set the date format correctly in the CONFIG file, and also double-checked that the date format in CSV aligns - it's DD-MM-YYYY in the raw csv file.

ERROR MESSAGE:

From MY.CONFIG

Hi there,
This might be difficult to get through without some familiarity with debugging python, honestly. Try inserting this line before where it errors and examine the value of ot and ot.date

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
