The timetuple() method of datetime.date instances returns an object of type time.struct_time. The struct_time is a named tuple object (A named tuple object has attributes that can be accessed by an index or by name).
example
You can print the complete time tuple by simply passing it to print.
import datetime todaysDate = datetime.date.today() timeTuple = todaysDate.timetuple() print(timeTuple)
Output
This will give the output −
time.struct_time(tm_year=2017, tm_mon=12, tm_mday=28, tm_hour=0, tm_min=0, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=3, tm_yday=362, tm_isdst=-1)
