Python Tutorial: Datetime Module - How to work with Dates, Times, Timedeltas, and Timezones

In this Python Tutorial, we will be learning how to use the datetime module. The datetime module is important to understand, because you will be working with dates and times in just about every application you write. We will look at how to work with dates, times, datetimes, timedeltas, and timezones. Let's get started.

    In 'strftime,' the 'f' is for 'format,' and in 'strptime,' the 'p' is for 'parse.' Knowing this helps you remember them better. Great video by the way.

    Ha, i used to think 'f' stands for 'from' (like 'get string from time') but still couldn't come up with what 'p' stands for 😅

    This video was awesome; thank you! I'm sure the help file will tell us how to grab the individual time components: date, hour, minute, second. In LabVIEW and other programming environments, there are functions that give you the time from a fixed point in the past as a reference point. I think the date is sometime in the January 1st 1980's, expressed as a number of seconds. It's the most numerically compatible way to deal with dates. I suspect Python has a similar time function too.
