Missing properties in python's datetime module

Question

I came across datetime module in python, as this is first time i need it in my scripts.

But I really have a problem with it, in example:

import datetime

date_now = datetime.date.today()

print date_now

As an answer i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "datetime.py", line 3, in

import datetime

File "/root/Desktop/python_work/datetime.py", line 5, in

today = datetime.date.today()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'date'

Then i checked my datetime module to list properties:

import datetime

for p in dir(datetime):

    print p

As a result i got only:

> __builtins__
> 
> __doc__
> 
> __file__
> 
> __name__
> 
> __package__
> 
> datetime

And yeah, true, 'module' object has no attribute 'date', it really do not have it.

Is there any idea, what should be added to python install or how to fix it?

Answer 1

Rename your file from datetime.py" to something else. This name is conflicting with the builtin datetime module. Hence the error.
