Course Overview
Welcome to Introduction to the datetime
Module in Python, an online course designed to help you master date and time handling in Python. This course will walk you through the essentials of working with the datetime
module, giving you the skills needed to perform a variety of date and time-related tasks with ease.
We’ll begin by covering the basics, such as retrieving the current date and time, creating date and time objects, and manipulating these objects for different use cases. You’ll also learn to work with strings, converting them to datetime
objects and back, which is crucial for formatting and processing dates in various formats.
The course includes practical examples that demonstrate how to calculate ages, find the time remaining until a specific date (like a birthday), and measure time differences using the timedelta
object. You’ll also explore working with time zones using the pytz
module, enabling you to handle time zone-aware calculations.
