Python Basics: Date and Time Mastery
strftime( )
Now that you have created your dt
object, you may have noticed that this is a proprietary Datetime
object and, therefore, some methods may fail when applied to it. For that reason, datetime
provides some functions to transform the datetime
object into a string. This is particularly useful when you are in need of changing the formatting.
Task
- Create a
Datetime
object with the current date and time; - Use the
strftime()
module to change the formatting in"%Y-%m-%d"
; - Print the type of the
dt
variable.
