 >>> import datetime   # or try `from datetime import datetime` and use 
`datetime.today()`

 >>> datetime.datetime.today()
datetime.datetime(2009, 2, 19, 16, 34, 40, 358989)

 >>> datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%d-%m-%Y")
'19-02-2009'

 >>> today=datetime.datetime.today().strftime("%d-%m-%Y")
 >>> today
'19-02-2009'

 >>> today_dtobj=datetime.datetime.strptime(today, "%d-%m-%Y")
 >>> today_dtobj
datetime.datetime(2009, 2, 19, 0, 0)

 >>> type(today_dtobj)
<type 'datetime.datetime'>
