I am using the date time lib to get the current date. After obtaining the current date I need to convert the obtained date to in to a string format. Any help is appriciated

from datetime import date
today=date.today()

You can use today.strftime(format). format will be a string as described here http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strftime . Example:

from datetime import date
today = date.today()
today.strftime("%x")
#>>> '01/31/11'

datetime.strftime allows you to format a datetime however you want

stringDate = str(today)

If that's what you want.

In Python3, you can use f-string formatting:

from datetime import date 
today=date.today()
today_str = f"{today:%m/%d/%y}"
today_str
#>>>'06/24/22'
