How to compute age in days using Python code

Question

How can I calculate the age of a person in days using Python code?

Answer 1

The datetime module supplies classes for manipulating dates and times. You can use the date class of this module to compute the age in days.

Here is an example:

from datetime import date

currentdate = date.today()

birthday = date(1988, 11, 10)

age = currentdate - birthday

print(age.days)
