Dates

Calendar date values are represented with the date class. Instances have attributes for year, month, and day. It is easy to create a date representing the current date using the today()

The following is example code:

import datetime

today = datetime.date.today()

print('Today is {}'.format(today))


print('ctime :', today.ctime())

tt = today.timetuple()
print('tuple     : tm_year =', tt.tm_year)
print('          : tm_mon  =', tt.tm_mon)
print('          : tm_mday =', tt.tm_mday)
print('          : tm_hour =', tt.tm_hour)
print('          : tm_min  =', tt.tm_min)
print('          : tm_sec  =', tt.tm_sec)
print('          : tm_wday =', tt.tm_wday)
print('          : tm_yday =', tt.tm_yday)
print('          : tm_isdst=', tt.tm_isdst)

print('ordinal:', today.toordinal())
print('Year   :', today.year)
print('Mon    :', today.month)
print('Day    :', today.day)

This example prints the current date in several formats.

          : tm_yday = 101
          : tm_isdst= -1
ordinal: 738621
Year   : 2023

When I see the program’s result, I suddenly find that one hundred days have already passed. Where have the time gone? So, Please don’t waste time.
