Thonny datetime

[DeveloperM]

Although I am an experienced programmer, I'm new to Python.I'm working in the free Thonny 3.* IDE and I tried the following:

from datetime import date
today = date.today()
print(today)

But I received this error: "from datetime import date
ImportError: cannot import name 'date' from 'datetime' (****\****\Python Scripts\datetime.py)"

I've tried to import other methods from datetime and also I've tried to import the whole module, but nothing I try executes.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
