Datetime Formats

Like we mentioned in the previous chapter since datetime object has also time added, there are additional format codes for datetime objects. The table with the most usable format codes is below.

Format code	Meaning	Example
`%d`	Day of the month as a zero-padded decimal number	01, 02, ..., 30, 31
`%m`	Month as a zero-padded decimal number	01, 02, ..., 11, 12
`%y`	Year without century as a zero-padded decimal number	00, 01, 02, ..., 98, 99
`%Y`	Year with century as a decimal number	0001, 0002, 1999, 2000, 2001, ...
`%b`	Month as locale’s abbreviated name	Jan, Feb, ..., Nov, Dec
`%B`	Month as locale’s full name	January, February, ..., November, December
`%a`	Weekday as locale’s abbreviated name	Sun, Mon, ..., Fri, Sat
`%A`	Weekday as locale’s full name	Sunday, Monday, ..., Friday, Saturday
`%H`	Hour (24-hour clock) as a zero-padded decimal number	00, 01, ..., 23, 24
`%M`	Minute as a zero-padded decimal number	00, 01, ..., 58, 59
`%S`	Second as a zero-padded decimal number	00, 01, ..., 58, 59

For example, we can do the same things as in the previous chapter, but in a more representative format. That is, the May month with these codes will be represented as 05, which is better than just 5. Let's show how it works on some random date.


              123456789
            
# Load class from library
from datetime import datetime

# Create datetime object
dt = datetime(2020, 11, 1, 11, 20, 25)

# Format datetime object to some format
dt_formatted = dt.strftime("%H:%M %d.%m.%Y")
print(dt_formatted)
