It's simple, you can use strftime:

 datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

Or you can through datetime

 from datetime import * def convert_strtodate(date: string) -> datetime: return datetime.strptime(date, '%y-%m-%d') 
     from datetime import datetime def convert_str2date(date: str) -> datetime: return datetime.strptime(date, '%y-%m-%d')

    The function accepts a YY-MM-DD format string and converts it to a datetime object.

       import datetime today = datetime.datetime.today() print(today.strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S")[8:10]) # -> 08
