[Python] Datetime 'has no attribute now'

I'm trying to write a simple program to print the current date with Python 3.4. In the shell, I can import datetime, and use now() but when I write a script with a class it fails and gives this error:

"AttributeError: module object has no attribute now".


Can anyone help explain the problem? This is my code:

import datetime

class Date:
def __init__(self, filename):
self.writeToFile(filename)

def date(self):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
return now

def writeToFile(self, filename):
date = self.date()

file = open(filename, 'w')
file.write(date)
for i in range(20): # simply test for writting in file
file.write(str(i)+'\t')
file.close()
return file

d = Date('datetime.txt')
