In the below example – we are implementing a python program to print the current/ today's year, month and year.

Steps:

• Import the date class from datetime module
• Create a date object of today's date – call the today() function of date class to get the current date.
• By using the date object – we can extract and print today's year, month and day.

# Python program to
# print today's year, month and day

# importing the date class datetime module
from datetime import date

# creating the date object of today's date
current_date = date.today() 

# printing the current date
print("Current date: ", current_date)

# extracting the current year, month and day
print("Current year:", current_date.year)
print("Current month:", current_date.month)
print("Current day:", current_date.day)

Output

Current date:  2020-03-09
Current year: 2020
Current month: 3
Current day: 9
