I want to know how many days is there between two dates in python, I'm using type "date" to store information. But if I just subtract two dates, I receive not an integer value, but some kind of tuple:
from datetime import *
a = date(2016, 9, 26)
b = date(2017, 1, 25)
delta = b - a
print('Interval is', delta, 'days long.')
Returns: Interval is 121 days, 0:00:00 days long.
But if I do it this way, I receive the number of days only.
from datetime import *
a = date(2016, 9, 26)
b = date(2017, 1, 25)
delta = b - a
print('Interval is', delta.days, 'days long.\n')
Returns: Interval is 121 long.
In Python documentation for version 3.6 object of class "date" has 3 arguments:
class datetime.date(year, month, day)
Why it still returns unnecessary time 0:00:00
delta when operating on dates itself?
Oh, now I get it! Subtraction does not return integer value with number of days, it returns object of type timedelta
, and in this particular case you then have to explicitly access values by delta.days
and delta.miliseconds
.
