Python type object ‘datetime.datetime’ has no attribute ‘datetime’

When you receive the error message “python type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'“, it means that you are trying to access an attribute or method that does not exist in the object you are working with. In this case, it seems that you are trying to access the attribute datetime within the datetime module, which does not exist.

To properly use the datetime module in Python, you need to import it and then use the datetime class within the module. Here is an example:

<script type="text/python">
import datetime

current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
print(current_time)
</script>

In the above example, we imported the datetime module using the import datetime statement. Then, we accessed the datetime class within the module using the datetime.datetime syntax. Finally, we used the now() method of the datetime class to get the current date and time.

If you want to use a different name for the datetime class, you can use the as keyword to alias it. Here is an example:

<script type="text/python">
import datetime

dt = datetime.datetime
current_time = dt.now()
print(current_time)
</script>

In the above example, we imported the datetime module as usual but then used the alias dt for the datetime.datetime class. This allows us to refer to the class as dt throughout our code.
