Here's the answer to your question. The code should look like this:
```python
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now)
```
This will print out the current date and time as a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, where now is the variable that contains the current date and time. 

 Good luck with your project! Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else.
