How to add date to zip filename?
#1
I have made a Python script to zip a file, but would like to add the current date to the filename. Is this possible to add?

import shutil
shutil.make_archive('Path_to_my\\Data\\DATA_PROD','zip','C:\\temp\\FGDB')

print("Complete")

you need to construct proper file name
look at datetime.date.today() and datetime.date.strftime() and string formatting
