now() - Skaperen - Oct-06-2016
is there a way to do this
from datetime import datetime as dt now=dt.nowin one statement?
i tried these and they did not work:
from datetime import datetime.now as now
from datetime.datetime import nowso i am looking for a working alternate.

I don't think it's possible. now() is a method on an object (class instance) in the module. I don't think you can use Python's import statement to get just a method of a class.

In one statement, no, in one line, yes:
from datetime import datetime as dt;now=dt.nowBut then, to use the value of "now" you have to add more statements, so what is the point?
RE: now() - metulburr - Oct-06-2016
the purpose of using it as datetime.now is that its very specific. "now" is not.

Quote:in one statement?Yeah can hack something together,
but something like this has not so much purpose outside the code golf world.
>>> __import__('datetime').datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 6, 14, 54, 22, 463219)

PEP8 is a guide, not a rule.
