How To Compare Two Dates In Python?

In this example, I will give two examples one example will compare with today's date, and second example compare with two custom dates. so let's see both examples and use them for you.

You can use these examples with python3 (Python 3) version

Example 1: Python Check if Date is Greater than Today

main.py

from datetime import datetime
myDateString = "2022-06-28"
myDate = datetime.strptime(myDateString, "%Y-%m-%d")
  
# Today's Date is 2022-06-27
todayDate = datetime.now()
  
if myDate.date() > todayDate.date():
    print("Date is Greater than Today")
else:
    print("Date is not Greater than Today")

Output

Date is Greater than Today

Example 2: Python Compare with Two Dates

main.py

from datetime import datetime
oneDate = "2022-06-26"
oneDateObj = datetime.strptime(oneDate, "%Y-%m-%d")
  
secondDate = "2022-06-25"
secondDateObj = datetime.strptime(secondDate, "%Y-%m-%d")
  
if oneDateObj.date() > secondDateObj.date():
    print("First Date is Greater...")
else:
    print("Second Date is Greater...")

Output

First Date is Greater...
