Getting formatted time -:

Example:

You can format any time as per your requirement, but simple method to get time in readable format is asctime() :

#!/usr/bin/python

Import time;

localtime = time.asctime ( time.localtime(time.time())

print “Local current time  :”, localtime

This would produce following result:

Local current time: Tue Jan 13  10:17:09 2009
