10.8. 日期和时间
datetime
模块提供了以简单和复杂的方式操作日期和时间的类。虽然支持日期和时间算法,但实现的重点是有效的成员提取以进行输出格式化和操作。该模块还支持可感知时区的对象。
>>> # dates are easily constructed and formatted
>>> from datetime import date
>>> now = date.today()
>>> now
datetime.date(2003, 12, 2)
>>> now.strftime("%m-%d-%y. %d %b %Y is a %A on the %d day of %B.")
'12-02-03. 02 Dec 2003 is a Tuesday on the 02 day of December.'
>>> # dates support calendar arithmetic
>>> birthday = date(1964, 7, 31)
>>> age = now - birthday
>>> age.days
