Python: Print simple format of time, full names and the representation format and preferred date time format

Python Datetime: Exercise-60 with Solution

Write a Python program to print simple format of time, full names and the representation format and preferred date time format.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import time
print("\nSimple format of time:")
s = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S + 1010", time.gmtime())
print(s)
print("\nFull names and the representation:")
s = time.strftime("%A, %D %B %Y %H:%M:%S + 0000", time.gmtime())
print( s)
print("\nPreferred date time format:")
s = time.strftime("%c")
print(s)
s = time.strftime("%x, %X, %y, %Y")
print("Example 11:", s)

Sample Output: 

Simple format of time:
Tue, 13 Apr 2021 12:02:01 + 1010

Full names and the representation:
Tuesday, 04/13/21 April 2021 12:02:01 + 0000

Preferred date time format:
Tue Apr 13 12:02:01 2021
Example 11: 04/13/21, 12:02:01, 21, 2021

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
