📝 Example Code Snippets

Current date/time

import datetime

now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now)

Formatting

print(now.strftime("%d-%m-%Y"))
print(now.strftime("%Y/%m/%d %H:%M"))

Add days

today = date.today()
future = today + timedelta(days=10)
print(future)

Convert string to date

import datetime

d = datetime.datetime.strptime("2026-02-27", "%Y-%m-%d")
print(d.date())

Day difference

d1 = date(2025,1,1)
