Python has several different modules to deal with dates and times. This course concentrates on the primary one, datetime. Dates and times are messy things! Shifts due to daylight savings time and time zones complicate any computing with dates and times.

Real Python – Using Python’s datetime Module is a short course that teaches you how to use Python’s datetime module. Each lesson is designed to introduce a specific set of features and then put them into practice with in-depth examples. In just a few minutes you’ll learn about setting up dates, times and time zones, all the way through calculating differences between dates. You’ll also find out how to convert between different formats and represent dates as strings.

The datetime module lets you perform just about any operation on dates and times. It provides methods for generating dates and times, as well as methods for comparing them or checking them against one another. This course covers all the various ways of using Python’s datetime module to make sense of dates and times, no matter what they are. Through 6 lessons, we’ll explore everything from generating simple date-time values to performing arithmetic on them to checking their validity as arguments in functions. Along the way you’ll learn how to manipulate time zones and leap years, work with date strings, parse input data that might be year-less or month-less or anything else odd or harder to process than simple numbers would be…In short — learn how a bit about dealing with dates and times in Python!
