performing date comparison with creation_date in user settings

jrmathieu63

I have a python recipe that is trapping all our users creation_date and would like to compare this date to a string date defined as following:

settings = user.get_settings()
creation_date = settings.creation_date

before_date = date.today() + relativedelta(months=-3)

if creation_date < before_date:

I know this will not work since they are not the same type but I cannot convert creation_date to string date since there none values.
Anybody know if this variable can be converted to string?

Thanks

Was able to find the solution myself by using chatGPT.

Best way to handle missing dates / null/none (nan) values is to set a default date.
Not sure why this is not done by Dataiku when creating a new administrative field for reporting.

Example:
last_login_time = user.activity['lastSuccessfulLogin']
converted_last_login = date.fromtimestamp(last_login_time/1e3)

creation_date = settings.creation_date
if creation_date is not None:
creation_date_str = creation_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
else:
creation_date_str = default_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
creation_date = datetime.strptime(creation_date_str, '%Y-%m-%d').date()

This allows me to conditional search the user list for accounts that have not logged on for at least 6 months or never logged on and account defined for at least 3 months.

pr6mths = date.today() + relativedelta(months=-6)
pr3mths = date.today() + relativedelta(months=-3)
#if last_login_time == 0 and enabled == True and converted_last_login < pr6mths and np.isnat(np.datetime64(creation_date)):
if last_login_time == 0 and enabled == True and converted_last_login < pr6mths and creation_date < pr3mths:

Enterprise system must review account access since our security is very concern with access that is not being used.
Access must be verified/recertified if not in use.

Here is more details on what I have attempted to do.

#Trap Last Login Datetime
df = []
for user in activity:
login = user.activity['login']
last_login_time = user.activity['lastSuccessfulLogin']
converted_last_login = date.fromtimestamp(last_login_time/1e3)
user = client.get_user(login)
settings = user.get_settings()
displayName = settings.get_raw()["displayName"]
email = settings.get_raw()["email"]
enabled = settings.enabled
creation_date = settings.creation_date
str_date = creation_date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

The attempt to convert creation_date into a string using strtime just fails with the following error.

Job failed: Error in Python process: At line 31: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strftime'
Not sure what this error means and what is required to resolve this?
