Python 3.7.0: How do I format datetime to mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss?

Question

How do I format datetime to mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss? I did it using the following code:

import datetime
t = datetime.datetime.now()

s = str(format(t.second, '02d'))
m = str(format(t.minute, '02d'))
h = str(format(t.hour, '02d'))

d = str(format(t.day, '02d'))
mon = str(format(t.month, '02d'))
y = str(t.year)

x = '-'
z = ':'
print(mon + x + d + x + y + '   ' + h + z + m + z + s)

but the problem is, first of all, the year prints in YYYY instead of YY (I only want the last two digits of the year). Second of all, I'm sure there's an easier way to print datetime in mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss instead of doing it manually like I did. Please help. Thanks.

Like this:

import datetime

now = datetime.datetime.now()
now.strftime('%m-%d-%y %H:%M:%S')
