I'm trying to count days between two dates but I can't figure out how to do it.

This is the code I am using:

from datetime import datetime
from datetime import date

hoy = date(datetime.today().strftime("%Y,%m,%e")) #current time
otra_fecha = date(2022, 11, 5)
delta = hoy - otra_fecha
print(delta.days)

This is the error that is thrown:

TypeError: an integer is required (got type str)

CodePudding user response：

Use .date() on datetime object to get back the date object:

hoy = datetime.today().date() #current time

CodePudding user response：

You're getting the TypeError since datetime.today().strftime("%Y,%m,%e") returns a str and datetime.date() takes int as arguments.

1. You can use date.today() to get the current local date.

hoy = date.today()

2. You can also use the date() method to extract the date from datetime object.

hoy = datetime.today().date()
