How do I format dates in Python using datetime?

You can format dates in Python using the strftime method from the datetime module. What format do you need?

I want to display the date as 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

You can use the format string '%Y-%m-%d'. For example:

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
formatted_date = now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
print(formatted_date)

What if I want to include the time as well?

You can modify the format string to include time. For example, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' will give you the full date and time.

Can you show me an example of that?

Sure! Here's how you can do it:

formatted_datetime = now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
print(formatted_datetime)
