bookWhat Time is it Now?

Let's expand the objects we will work with. In this section, we will learn how to work not only with dates but with times also. This time we will work with datetime class of the datetime library.

A datetime object has 6 additional arguments compared to a date object. These are hour (0-24), minute (0-60), second (0-60), microsecond (0-1000000), tzinfo, and fold (used for local times).

Task

Import datetime class from datetime library. Print current date and time using .now() method of datetime class. Please note, that .now() returns local time and since the code is executed on a dedicated server it shows GMT.
