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

Question

I came across an interesting situation when using this class   class Company models Model       date   models DateField       time   models TimeField     c   Company date datetime datetime now    time datetime datetime now       Django decides to use DATETIME INPUT FORMATS defined within the formats py file  Which makes sense  because I am passing in a datetime now   to both fields   I think I could make Django to use DATE INPUT FORMATS and TIME INPUT FORMATS respectively  if I passed in only the current date and current time in   Something like this   c   Company date datetime date now    time datetime time now       But this obviously throws an exception as now doesn t exist like that   Is there a different way to achieve this

A related info  to the question    In django  use timezone now   for the datetime field  as django supports timezone  it just returns datetime based on the USE TZ settings  or simply timezone  aware  datetime objects For a reference  I ve got TIME ZONE    Asia Kolkata  and USE TZ   True  from django utils import timezone import datetime  print timezone now       The UTC time print timezone localtime       timezone specified time   print datetime datetime now       default local time    output 2020-12-11 09 13 32 430605 00 00 2020-12-11 14 43 32 430605 05 30    IST is UTC 5 30 2020-12-11 14 43 32 510659  refer timezone settings and Internationalization and localization in django docs for more details

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
