Display date with python in a Font Sop

[Lyrops]

Hi everyone !

I'm trying to display the date with a font sop using python but I'm a total noob with using python. I've found some pieces of information over odforce but I can't make it work.

So far I've manage to make python work inside the font SOP but the lines I'm using sending me "none" instead of giving the date. When I'm using the same script in the Python Shell it works. I feel like I'm missing something important but I don't know what. 

import datetime
date = datetime.datetime.now()
str(date)

Thanks !

Hey @Lyrops,

if you use "return date" insted of "str(date)", it will work.

 

import datetime
date = datetime.datetime.now()
return date
