Welcome folks today in this post we will be formatting dates in terms of time in python using the built in module called as datetime . All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

Formatting Time

app.py

import datetime 


tm = datetime.time(1, 50, 20, 133257) 

print('Time tm is ', 
    tm.hour, ' hours ', 
    tm.minute, ' minutes ', 
    tm.second, ' seconds and ', 
    tm.microsecond, ' microseconds' )

In the first example we are formatting the time in terms of hours and minutes and seconds as shown below

Formatting Dates

Now we will be formatting dates in terms of days and months and years as shown below

app.py

import datetime 
  
  
date = datetime.date(2018, 5, 12) 
print('Date date is ', date.day, 
      ' day of ', date.month, 
      ' of the year ', date.year)
