Python datetime class: datetime module

Question

I am bit confuse, how this code works?:

import datetime as dt

d = dt.datetime.now() # 2022-09-17 16:52:15.615285

we know that datetime is a class of the dt module, but why we can access to a method even knowing we did't create an object of the class before, how this works? and how is possible?

Answer 1

You don't need an instance because now is a classmethod.
