Calculate current date

Question

I am writing something to where the user puts in a date. Then it would compare the date input by the user and is subtracted by current date. Is there some code I can use for python ask the user for the date? And is there a way I can have python check the date on device it is on? Thanks I’m advance.

Here is how to ask user for a date:

from datetime import datetime


usr_input = str(input('Enter date(yyyy-mm-dd): '))
usr_date = datetime.strptime(usr_input, "%Y-%m-%d")
 
print(usr_date)

`input()` returns a string already - no need to convert it – Miguel Guthridge Jul 12 '22 at 08:34
