Name
strftime, Format
Synopsis
d
.strftime(fmt
="%c”)
Returns a string representing
d
as specified by string
fmt
. The syntax of
fmt
is the same as in
time.strftime
, covered in Section 12.1 earlier in this chapter, but
not all specifiers are meaningful. The result of
d
.strftime
does not
reflect the sign of the time interval that
d
represents; to display the sign as well,
you must affix it to the string by separate string manipulation. For
example:
ifd
.seconds >= 0.0: returnd
.strftime(fmt
) else: return '-' +d
.strftime(fmt
)
Format
is a synonym of strftime
.
