date.fromtimestamp

datetime

classmethod of date

date.fromtimestamp(timestamp)

Create a date from a POSIX timestamp.

The timestamp is a number, e.g. created via time.time(), that is
interpreted as local time.

Changed in 3.3, 3.15

3.3: Raise OverflowError instead of ValueError if the timestamp is out of the range of values supported by the platform C localtime() function. Raise OSError instead of ValueError on localtime() failure.
3.15: Accepts any real number as timestamp, not only integer or float.

True
>>> my_birthday = dt.date(today.year, 6, 24)
>>> if my_birthday < today:
...     my_birthday = my_birthday.replace(year=today.year + 1)
...
>>> my_birthday
datetime.date(2008, 6, 24)
>>> time_to_birthday = abs(my_birthday - today)
>>> time_to_birthday.days
