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"))
