Databricks pySpark datetime

Question

I'm not sure why my datatime is being printed the way it is. I'm expecting the format of "%Y-%M-%D" (2020-05-11)

import datetime
from pyspark.sql.functions import *

currentdate = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%M-%D")
print(dateValue)

Output: 
2020-09-05/11/20

Answer 1

Try with %Y-%m-%d instead of %Y-%M-%D

currentdate = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")    
print (currentdate)
#2020-05-11

#or using spark sql
currentdate=spark.sql("select string(current_date)").collect()[0][0]
print(currentdate)
#2020-05-11
