Datetime Module in Python

The datetime module in Python provides classes for manipulating dates and times. It includes various functions and classes such as datetime, date, time, and timedelta, which allow for a wide range of operations.

  1. Date and Time Creation: You can create objects representing dates and times. For example, datetime.datetime.now() returns the current date and time.

  2. Formatting and Parsing: Dates and times can be formatted as strings using strftime() and parsed from strings using strptime().

  3. Arithmetic Operations: You can perform arithmetic operations on dates and times, such as adding or subtracting time intervals using timedelta.

  4. Time Zones: The module also supports time zone conversion through the pytz library.

  5. Components Extraction: Easily extract components like year, month, day, hour, minute, and second from datetime objects.

The datetime module is essential for handling and manipulating date and time data efficiently in Python.
