The datetime module is useful to get the date in our programs.
Let’s take a look at it.
The methods
Let’s use dir to see the methods in datetime.
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.today()
for method in dir(now):
if not method.startswith("__"):
print(method)
Running this script we will get this output:
astimezone combine ctime date day dst fold fromisoformat fromordinal fromtimestamp hour isocalendar isoformat isoweekday max microsecond min minute month now replace resolution second strftime strptime time timestamp timetuple timetz today toordinal tzinfo tzname utcfromtimestamp utcnow utcoffset utctimetuple weekday year >>>
Write the date in a certain way
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.today()
date = f"{now.day}/{now.month}/{now.year}"
print(date)
The output:
24/8/2018 >>>
