Date & Time:
In Python, you can work with dates and times using the built-in datetime module. Here are some examples of how to work with dates and times in Python:
- Import the datetime module:
import datetime
- Get the current date and time:
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now)
This will output the current date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmmmmm.
- Create a datetime object for a specific date and time:
dt = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 24, 15, 30, 0) print(dt)
This will output the datetime object representing the date and time 2023-03-24 15:30:00.
- Format a datetime object as a string:
dt = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 24, 15, 30, 0)
formatted_dt = dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') print(formatted_dt)
This will output the string 2023-03-24 15:30:00.
- Parse a string into a datetime object:
dt_str = '2023-03-24 15:30:00'
dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(dt_str, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') print(dt)
This will output the datetime object representing the date and time 2023-03-24 15:30:00.
- Perform arithmetic with datetime objects:
dt1 = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 24, 15, 30, 0)
dt2 = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 25, 10, 0, 0)
timedelta = dt2 - dt1
print(timedelta)
This will output the timedelta object representing the difference between dt2 and dt1.
