• datetime.date() - Date

  • date(year, month, day) - create date

Date objects represents a particular day. Example dates are Yuri Gagarin (first man to fly to space) launch date, or the first day when a person (Neil Armstrong) set foot on the Moon. In order to create a date object:

>>> from datetime import date
>>>
>>> x = date(2000, 1, 2)
>>> print(x)
2000-01-02

8.1.1. SetUp

>>> from datetime import date

8.1.2. Date Attributes

  • date.year - year

  • date.month - month

  • date.day - day

Lets create a date object:

You can access date attributes by . dot notation. Attributes stored in this class are: year, month, day:
