Isoformat in Python 2.4
Sometimes I don’t like python. Just sometimes, I love it most of the times. But just look what hoops I need to jump through to get a current timestamp in ISO format:
from datetime import datetime, tzinfo, timedelta
import time
class TZ(tzinfo):
def utcoffset(self,dt): return timedelta(seconds=time.timezone)
def dst(self,dt): return timedelta(0)
a = datetime.now(TZ())
a= a.replace(microsecond = 0)
print a.isoformat()
That prints:
asterisk:~ tim$ python test.py
2008-03-24T13:38:06-01:00
Fugly…
