Example 2: python difference in dates in seconds

future_date = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 2)
past_date = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1)

difference = (future_date - past_date)
Calculate difference in time


total_seconds = difference.total_seconds()
Convert time difference to seconds

OUTPUT
86400.0

Example 3: day difference between two dates in python
