Answer

You can use the datetime module for working with dates and times in Python. The strftime method allows you to produce string representation of dates and times with a format you specify.

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.date.today().strftime("%B %d, %Y")
'July 23, 2010'
>>> datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%I:%M%p on %B %d, %Y")
'10:36AM on July 23, 2010'
