How to print current date on python3

Question

From what I gather  here  for example   this should print the current year in two digits  print  datetime strftime   y      However  I get this error   TypeError  descriptor  strftime  requires a  datetime date  object but received a  str    So I tried to this  print  datetime strftime datetime date       to get   TypeError  descriptor  date  of  datetime datetime  object needs an argument   so I placed   y  inside of thr date   above to get   TypeError  descriptor  date  requires a  datetime datetime  object but received a  str    Which start to seem really loopy and fishy to me    What am I missing

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
