So let's open up in chapter five, the Dates Start file and those of you using CoLab can just create a new code cell. So in order to get this rich date and time functionality, we of course have to import the necessary modules and classes from the standard library, and we saw how to do that earlier in the course. So here you can see I've got the from date time import date, and from datetime import datetime classes. So let's go ahead and copy and paste these into our CoLab starting point. So I'm going to make use of the date and datetime classes in this example, both of which are part of the Python standard library. Now, the second import here might be a little confusing.
