How do I get the current date and current time only respectively in Django?

For the date, you can use datetime.date.today() or datetime.datetime.now().date().

For the time, you can use datetime.datetime.now().time().

However, why have separate fields for these in the first place? Why not use a single DateTimeField?

You can always define helper functions on the model that return the .date() or .time() later if you only want one or the other.

import datetime

datetime.date.today()  # Returns 2018-01-15

datetime.datetime.now() # Returns 2018-01-15 09:00

import datetime
datetime.datetime.now().strftime ("%Y%m%d")
20151015

For the time

from time import gmtime, strftime
showtime = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", gmtime())
print showtime
2015-10-15 07:49:18
