Date in format of YYYYMMDD rather than YYYY-MM-DD in python

Question

The files I need to move has a pattern of date like this: 20190328 .

My datetime module gives me the date as YYYY-MM-DD . How can I get the date in form YYYYMMDD ?

Answer 1

Using strftime :

import datetime
print(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d"))

OUTPUT:

20190328
