Can somebody explain the Datetime module a little bit better?

Question

Just need help learning how to tell distance between two dates, how to tell certain things, like only the time, or only the date.

Answer 1

#you can play around with this

from datetime import *
a = datetime(2018, 8, 5) #chosen year,month,day (today of last year)
b = datetime.today() #todays date

daysBetween = int(list(str(b-a).split())[0]) #this will give days between last year(specified date a) to today (b)

daysTimeBetween = b-a #this will give days/time between last year (a) and today (b)

print(daysTimeBetween)
print(daysBetween)

d = list(str(date.today()).split("-"))
#store each element of todays date
day = int(d[2])
month = int(d[1])
year = int(d[0])

print(datetime.today()) #todays date and time
print(day, month, year)
