Datetime current year and month in Python

Try this solution:

from datetime import datetime

current_second = datetime.now().second
current_minute = datetime.now().minute
current_hour = datetime.now().hour

current_day = datetime.now().day
current_month = datetime.now().month
current_year = datetime.now().year

Use:

from datetime import datetime
today = datetime.today()
datem = datetime(today.year, today.month, 1)

I assume you want the first of the month.

Use:

from datetime import datetime

current_month = datetime.now().strftime('%m') # 02 This is 0 padded
current_month_text = datetime.now().strftime('%h') # Feb
current_month_text = datetime.now().strftime('%B') # February

current_day = datetime.now().strftime('%d')   # 23 This is also padded
current_day_text = datetime.now().strftime('%a')  # Fri
current_day_full_text = datetime.now().strftime('%A')  # Friday

current_weekday_day_of_today = datetime.now().strftime('%w') # 5  Where 0 is Sunday and 6 is Saturday.

current_year_full = datetime.now().strftime('%Y')  # 2018
current_year_short = datetime.now().strftime('%y')  # 18 without century

current_second= datetime.now().strftime('%S') # 53
current_minute = datetime.now().strftime('%M') # 38
current_hour = datetime.now().strftime('%H') # 16 like 4pm
current_hour = datetime.now().strftime('%I') # 04 pm

current_hour_am_pm = datetime.now().strftime('%p') # 4 pm

current_microseconds = datetime.now().strftime('%f') # 623596 Rarely we need.

current_timzone = datetime.now().strftime('%Z') # UTC, EST, CST etc. (empty string if the object is naive).

The above things are useful for any date parsing, not only now or today. It can be useful for any date parsing.

e.g.

my_date = "23-02-2018 00:00:00"

datetime.strptime(str(my_date),'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S').strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S+00:00')

datetime.strptime(str(my_date),'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S').strftime('%m')

And so on...

>>> from datetime import date
>>> date.today().month
2
>>> date.today().year
2020
>>> date.today().day
13
