AttributeError: type object 'datetime.date' has no attribute 'now'

Question

Using these lines of code:

from datetime import date

date_start = date.now()

I'm getting this error:

AttributeError: type object 'datetime.date' has no attribute 'now'

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

This works:

import datetime

datetime.date.today()

Answer 2

You need to use

 import datetime

 now = datetime.datetime.now()

Or if you are using django 1.4+ and have timezone enabled you should use

 django.utils.timezone.now()
