Question

I am getting time using the following code, if I print this value I am getting month, date, year and also the H, M, S. I just need MM/DD,YEAR, how do I get it?

  lastTime = datetime.datetime.strptime(timeStr, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")
  print lastTime

Answer 1

To print the datetime in the format MM/DD,YEAR:

print(lastTime.strftime('%m/%d,%Y'))

If you want the date in the format MM-DD-YEAR, use:

print(lastTime.strftime('%m-%d-%Y'))

Also note lastTime is a datetime.datetime object. The month, day and year are accessible through attributes:

lastTime.month, lastTime.day, lastTime.year
