Archived:How to format time in PySymbian
There are two ways of formatting time. For SQL you need e32.format_time :
>>> from e32db import format_time
>>> from time import *
>>> t = time()
>>> format_time(t) # for Symbian SQL
u'06/03/2006 23:26:35'
For other uses you can use strftime :
>>> from time import *
>>> strftime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')
'06/03/2006 23:26:39'
>>> ctime()
'Mon Mar 06 23:26:49 2006'
>>> strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000") # email RFC
'Mon, 06 Mar 2006 23:26:59 +0000'
