Pythonic difference between two dates in years?

Question

Is there a more efficient way of doing this below? I want to have the difference in years between two dates as a single scalar. Any suggestions are welcome.

Answer 1

Just do this:

from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

myBirthday = datetime.datetime(1983,5,20,0,0,0,0)
now = datetime.datetime.now()



difference = relativedelta(now, myBirthday)
print("My years: "+str(difference.years))
