I need a Script to convert today's date to julian date. Can someone help?
from datetime import datetime # Get today's date today = datetime.today() # Convert to Julian date (day of the year) julian_date = today.strftime('%j') print(f"Today's date: {today.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}") print(f"Julian date: {julian_date}")
Did you mean something more than that?

thks Kevin. If I have this below, what do I have to write to convert my EffectiveDateTime to Julian ?
if header.find('./info:EffectiveDateTime', ns) is not None:
Date = header.find('./info:EffectiveDateTime', ns).text
else: Date = ''
If the date/time format of EffectiveDateTime is known, you can use datetime.strptime(Date, Dateformat) to parse it into a datetime and then use Kevin's script to output it as a Julian Date.
eg.
dateString = "2025-06-02T17:00.000Z"
myDate = datetime.strptime(dateString, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")
julianDate = myDate.strftime("%j")
