It s in fact almost the same in Python    -   import datetime year   datetime date today   year   Of course  date doesn t have a time associated  so if you care about that too  you can do the same with a complete datetime object   import datetime year   datetime datetime today   year    Obviously no different  but you can store datetime datetime today   in a variable before you grab the year  of course    One key thing to note is that the time components can differ between 32-bit and 64-bit pythons in some python versions  2 5 x tree I think    So you will find things like hour min sec on some 64-bit platforms  while you get hour minute second on 32-bit
