1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | import datetime now = datetime.datetime.now() print print "Current date and time using str method of datetime object:" print str(now) print print "Current date and time using instance attributes:" print "Current year: %d" % now.year print "Current month: %d" % now.month print "Current day: %d" % now.day print "Current hour: %d" % now.hour print "Current minute: %d" % now.minute print "Current second: %d" % now.second print "Current microsecond: %d" % now.microsecond print print "Current date and time using strftime:" print now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M") |
Current date and time using str method of datetime object:
2013-02-17 16:02:49.338517
Current date and time using instance attributes:
Current year: 2013
Current month: 2
Current day: 17
Current hour: 16
Current minute: 2
Current second: 49
Current microsecond: 338517
