How do I print the current date without the dashes?-CodePudding

So I am trying to use the current date to generate an order number for my restaurant system but it prints it with dashes and I don't know how to remove those. My current code for the date is below.

today = date.today

Whenever I print this the date prints out with dashes. Is there a way to remove those dashes from the code?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the strftime method of the date object.

>>> today = date.today()
>>> today.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
'28/03/2022'

Here's the documentation on the format codes you can use.

CodePudding user response：

there is a better way, try this code below.

import datetime
mylist = []
today = datetime.date.today()
mylist.append(today)
print(mylist)

Hope that worked!
