Printing date a file

[Kory Wheatley]

In Python how would you print the date in a file, I
have a logging program written in python and for each
new recorded added to the file, I would like to print
the
date, something like this below:

08/24/2004 or 08-24-2004

Kory,
Works. Maybe a better way.

import datetime
d = datetime.datetime(2004,1,1).today()
d datetime.datetime(2004, 8, 24, 12, 29, 25, 784935) d.year 2004 d.month 8 d.day

24

Take a look at time.strftime()

I would use the "International Date Format (ISO 8601)"

CCYY-MM-DD (2004-08-24)

Read up on the time module, specifically strftime.

Here's my favorite way:

import datetime
datetime.date.today().isoformat()

'2004-08-24'
