In this video I’ll show you how to use Dates and Datetime with Tkinter and Python. We’ll also build a fun little 2020 countdown app that tells us how many days left in 2020.

Working with Dates in Tkinter and Python is pretty simple. We just need to import datetime into our app. Datetime comes with Python so there’s nothing we need to install, we can just start using it.

Next we’ll use strftime() to format the date however we want.
