Dates without drama — Python’s datetime made simple
|
Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Today, we’ll explore the What is datetime module?
🛞 Create, manipulate, and format date and time values. ❓ Why it matters - Think of last 3 month, 6 month sales tracking; invoice generation dates, or scheduling reminders - ⭐ Get today's date
In:
from datetime import date d = date.today() print(d)
Out:
2025-08-22 ⭐ Get current date and time
In:
from datetime import datetime now = datetime.now() print(now)
Out:
2025-08-22 13:20:00 💡 Did you notice we imported datetime from datetime? First one is a module, 2nd one is a class! Simple but important concept (read more) ⭐ Split date into year, month & day
In:
from datetime import date d = date.today() print(d.year, d.month, d.day)
Out:
2025 8 22 ⭐ Create specific date
In:
from datetime import date deadline = date(2025, 9, 30) print(deadline)
Out:
2025-09-30 ⭐ Create specific datetime
In:
from datetime import datetime meeting = datetime(2025, 9, 30, 18, 0, 0) print(meeting)
Out:
2025-09-30 18:00:00 ⭐ "strftime" to format as per your need
In:
from datetime import date d = date(2025, 8, 22) print(d.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")) print(d.strftime("%d %b %Y")) print(d.strftime("%A"))
Out:
22-08-2025 22 Aug 2025 Friday ⭐ "Week" and "Weekday" Given date is 34th week and 5th weekday
In:
from datetime import date d = date(2025, 8, 22) print(d.isocalendar())
Out:
(2025, 34, 5) ⭐📣 That was the intro, lot more on datetime coming up on Monday. If you liked it, please share it with anyone who will find it useful and share your feedback below 🐼
