How I fix an AttributeError with Datetime?

Question

:I use

import datetime
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import date

But then, if I use datetime :

Example:

TimeNow = datetime.datetime.now()

It says that:

AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

now() is a function available in the datetime module of the datetime package. Hence to use it you can do either of the two:

from datetime import datetime
time_now = datetime.now()

or

import datetime
time_now = datetime.datetime.now()

In the second case, you need to access the datetime module inside the datetime package and then use the now() function.

Answer 2

You should either import datetime and then call:

TimeNow = datetime.datetime.now()

or you can do:

from datetime import datetime
TimeNow = datetime.now()
