Hey everybody,

I am using 2.7 on Ubuntu 12.10.  All I need to do is to print time with the 
microseconds.  I have been looking at the docs and trying things for about half 
a day now with no success.  Currently my code looks like this:

        #  write date and time and microseocnds
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d", ))))
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(strftime("%H:%M:%S", ))))
        self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(time())))

the output looks like this:

2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00 
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                 
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                         
2013-08-02      06:01:43       00:00:00                                         
2013-08-02      06:01:44       00:00:00                                 
2013-08-02      06:01:44       00:00:00                         

as you can see in the 2nd column the observations occur with 'fractional 
second' frequency, up to 8 or 9 per second.  You can also see my latest attempt 
to get the microseconds in the third column is not working.  It would really be 
great if python had a way to just tack the microseconds (actually i think 
milliseconds would be better) on to the second (in the 2nd column) as a 
fraction. If this is not possible I need the extra write statement for just the 
microseconds (millisecond if possible). 

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
