New project. It ask for the date of an event and counts the days till that event!

Please help with the error.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the code:

import datetime

import console

from scene import *

class question (Scene):

    def setup(self):

        self.show_instructions = True

        self.particles = set()

        self.p_size = 64 if self.size.w > 700 else 32

    def draw(self):

        background(0, 0, 0)

        if self.show_instructions:

            s = 40 if self.size.w > 700 else 17

            event = console.input_alert('Event', 'Please enter the event name.\ni.e. First day of school', '', 'Enter')

            today = datetime.date.today()

            find = console.input_alert('Date', 'Please enter the date you would like to countdown to.\ni.e. 2009 (year),6 (month),29 (day)', '', 'Enter')

            try:

                year, month, day = [int(s.strip()) for s in find.split(',')]

                someday = datetime.date(year, month, day)

                diff = someday - today

                print(diff.days)

            except ValueError:

                print 'Incorrect date format (must be "year, month, day")'

run(question())
