python-mysqlHow do I format a date in MySQL using Python?
To format a date in MySQL using Python, you can use the strftime()
function. This function takes a datetime object as an argument and returns a string representing the date in the specified format.
For example, to format a date in the YYYY-MM-DD
format:
import datetime
date = datetime.datetime.now()
formatted_date = date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
print(formatted_date)
Output example
2020-08-19
The code above first imports the datetime
module, then creates a datetime
object and assigns it to the date
variable. The strftime()
function is then called on the date
variable, passing in the format string "%Y-%m-%d"
as an argument. This format string specifies that the date should be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD
. Finally, the print()
function displays the formatted date.
The strftime()
function has many different format specifiers that can be used to customize the output. For more information, see the Python documentation.
