How do I generate a python timestamp to a particular format?

Question

In python, how would I generate a timestamp to this specific format?

2010-03-20T10:33:22-07

I've searched high and low, but I couldn't find the correct term that describes generating this specific format.

Answer 1

See the following example:

import datetime  now = datetime.datetime.now() now.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') + ('-%02d' % (now.microsecond / 10000)) 

This could result in the following: '2017-09-20T11:52:32-98'

Answer 2

You can use datetime with strftime. Exemple:

import datetime  date = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")  print(date) 

Will print:

2017-09-20T12:59:43.888955
