1# Take first date
2day1 = int(input("Enter first day: "))
3month1 = int(input("Enter first month: "))

5# Take second date
6day2 = int(input("Enter second day: "))
7month2 = int(input("Enter second month: "))

9# Compare dates
10if month1 < month2:
11    print("First date comes earlier")
12elif month1 > month2:
13    print("Second date comes earlier")
14else:  # Same month
15    if day1 < day2:
16        print("First date comes earlier")
17    elif day1 > day2:
18        print("Second date comes earlier")
19    else:
20        print("Same date")

Output

Enter first day: 15
Enter first month: 3
Enter second day: 20
Enter second month: 3
First date comes earlier

Enter first day: 15
Enter first month: 3
Enter second day: 10
Enter second month: 4
First date comes earlier
