Answer 1

You should really import the module into its own alias.

import datetime as dt
my_datetime = dt.datetime(year, month, day)

The above has the following benefits over the other solutions:

• Calling the variable my_datetime instead of date reduces confusion since there is already a date in the datetime module (datetime.date).
• The module and the class (both called datetime) do not shadow each other.

Answer 2

You should use

date = datetime(int(year), int(month), 1)

Or change

from datetime import datetime

to

import datetime

Answer 3

If you have used:

from datetime import datetime

Then simply write the code as:

date = datetime(int(year), int(month), 1)

But if you have used:

import datetime

then only you can write:

date = datetime.datetime(int(2005), int(5), 1)

Answer 4

from datetime import datetime
import time
from calendar import timegm
d = datetime.utcnow()
d = d.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")
utc_time = time.strptime(d,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")
epoch_time = timegm(utc_time)

Answer 5

For python 3.3

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
futuredate = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=10)

Answer 6

I found this to be a lot easier

from dateutil import relativedelta
relativedelta.relativedelta(end_time,start_time).seconds
