How to print current date on python3?

The following seems to work:

import datetime
print (datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%y"))

The datetime.data object that it wants is on the "left" of the dot rather than the right. You need an instance of the datetime to call the method on, which you get through now()

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()

print(now.year)

The above code works perfectly fine for me.
