Changing date format in output

1 New Member
Hi I'm trying to make a list of dates between two dates and i found this

http://bytes.com/forum/thread774887.html

and used the code at the bottom to make the list but i need the list to output in mm/dd/yy format instead of yyyy-mm-dd, and i was wondering if there is a line or two of code i could add to have it do that for me.

I'm pretty new to python so if this is a stupid question with a really easy answer sorry for wasting peoples time.

Thank you for any help.

String formatting makes this fairly easy (and fun!).

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. instr = "2008-09-10"
  2. spl = instr.split('-') #(2008, 09, 10)
  3. outstr = "%d%d/%d%d/%d%d" % (int(spl[1][0]), int(spl[1][1]), int(spl[2][0]), int(spl[2][1]), int(spl[0][2]), int(spl[0][3]))

You can use date object method strftime() to format the output from the function in the referenced thread.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. print '\n'.join([date.strftime('%m/%d/%y') for date in dateList])
