django get current date
from django.utils import timzone This enables you to have a timestamp on any model if you create a DateTimeField. 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? in Models You can always define helper functions on the model that return the .date() or .time() later if you only want one or the other.
