Assuming `parser.parse` is from dateutil, the return value will be a datetime 
object with a `date` method.

print(start_date.date())
Output (for me): 2022-01-01

Hi all,

I have the following code which should give me only date but the time
component is still there.

start_date=datetime.date.today().strftime('%Y') + "/01/01"
start_date=parser.parse(start_date)


end_date=datetime.date.today().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')
end_date=parser.parse(end_date)
print(start_date)
print(end_date)
sys.exit()

The output of the above code is:
2022-01-01 00:00:00
2022-01-03 00:00:00

The time component is still there.
