There's a question I've been wondering about for the datetime module as if there's a way to import the year function within the same line like:

from datetime.date.today import year

or something along the lines... or it is not possible and I would have to import date then extract the year to from the today function.

Probably to easiest way to do it:

from datetime import date
print(date.today().year)

the "today" function builds a datetime object for you using the current unix time, so you can't import the year without instantiating a new datetime object this way to parse the unix timestamp.

You can only import an object (class, function or a constant) or a module or a package in python.

The year is an integer data part of return value of today() function so it cannot be imported.
