title: Datetime 'has no attribute now'
body: <p>I'm trying to write a simple program to print the current date with Python 3.4. In the shell, I can import datetime, and use <code>now()</code> but when I write a script with a class it fails and gives this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"AttributeError: module object has no attribute now". 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help explain the problem? This is my code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import datetime
  
  class Date:
      def __init__(self, filename):
          self.writeToFile(filename)
  
      def date(self):
          now = datetime.datetime.now()
          return now
  
      def writeToFile(self, filename):
          date = self.date()
  
          file = open(filename, 'w')
          file.write(date)
          for i in range(20):             # simply test for writting in file
              file.write(str(i)+'\t')
          file.close()
          return file
  
  d = Date('datetime.txt') 
  </code></pre>
