Handle dates and times.

Get Current Date/Time

```python from datetime import datetime, date, time

Current date and time now = datetime.now() print(now) # 2025-12-18 14:30:45.123456

Current date only today = date.today() print(today) # 2025-12-18 ```

Create Specific Date

```python from datetime import datetime

Create specific date birthday = datetime(1995, 6, 15) print(birthday)

Create from string date_str = "2025-12-18" date_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d") print(date_obj) ```

Format Dates

```python from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()

Format as string formatted = now.strftime("%B %d, %Y") print(formatted) # December 18, 2025

Different formats print(now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")) # 12/18/2025 print(now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) # 2025-12-18 ```

Date Arithmetic

```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta

today = datetime.now()

Add/subtract days tomorrow = today + timedelta(days=1) last_week = today - timedelta(weeks=1) next_month = today + timedelta(days=30)

print(tomorrow) ```

Remember

- Use datetime for date and time - Use date for date only - timedelta for duration
