25 datetime module in python

 

----- datetime to work with dates as date objects.


----Example----

Import the datetime module and display the current date:


import datetime


x = datetime.datetime.now()

print(x)


----When we execute the code from the example above the result will be:


2021-10-02 21:34:06.726296

The date contains year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and microsecond.


-----Example

Return the year and name of weekday:


import datetime


x = datetime.datetime.now()


print(x.year)

print(x.strftime("%A"))


-------Creating Date Objects-------

To create a date, we can use 

the datetime() class (constructor) of the datetime module.

-----Example------

Create a date object:


import datetime


x = datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 17)


print(x)


strftime(), and takes one parameter, format, 

to specify the format of the returned string:


Example

Display the name of the month:


import datetime


x = datetime.datetime(2018, 6, 1)


print(x.strftime("%B"))
