formated local time

[Nikola Skoric]

I have been trying to find appropriate way to do get local time in
"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" format, but the best I got is this:
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(time.l ocaltime()))
It seems to me I'm missing a much simpler method, am I?

If you want the formatted string, you can use strftime:

>>time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

'2007-11-15 07:51:12'

Hope this helps,

You could use:

import time
time.strftime( "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" )
or
time.strftime( "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.localtime() )

Output:
'2007-11-15 11:02:34'

Both strftime calls are equivalent, in this case.
