The datetime module handles dates and times:

from datetime import datetime, date

now = datetime.now()
print(now)  # 2026-03-08 14:30:00.123456
print(now.year)   # 2026
print(now.month)  # 3
print(now.day)    # 8

You can calculate the difference between dates:

from datetime import date

birthday = date(2026, 12, 25)
today = date.today()
delta = birthday - today
print(f'{delta.days} days until birthday!')
