Can someone explain to me the dot notation in this code?
now = datetime.now()
I know that now() refers to the method which belongs to the class datetime. Please take a look at the datetime.py module if needed.
what I'm confused about is the "datetime" part of now = datetime.now(). I read somewhere that it's supposed to be the instance of a class (the class is also called datetime if you look over the module) which the now() method belongs to, no? Since it's the instance shouldn't there be a line for the code which is
datetime = datetime()
This is to specify that the datetime instance is part of the datetime class right?
I'm sorry if this question makes no sense at all, since it's only been a day since I've been working with Python. Thank you for your time.
