I am getting an error while trying to call datetime.date.day()

Question

I get this traceback error below when I run the following code:

from datetime import date

def main():
    today = date.day()
    print("today is ", today)


if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Documents/CODE X/loops/super_hero_mix.py", line 9, in <module>
    main()
  File "/Users/Documents/CODE X/loops/super_hero_mix.py", line 4, in main
    today = date.day()
TypeError: 'getset_descriptor' object is not callable

Answer 1

Perhaps you wanted to use date.today():

from datetime import date

def main():
    today = date.today()
    print("today is ", today)


if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

Output:

today is  2021-09-06
