You've gotten some really excellent advice about how to approach working with the time format. Here's a chunk of code I use quite a bit. It's probably sub-optimal, but playing with it might help you come up with a solution that works for your application.
def Int2Digit(integer): if integer < 9: strInteger = "0"+str(integer) else: strInteger = str(integer) return strInteger def TimeStampMaker(): import datetime t = datetime.datetime.now() strTmonth = Int2Digit(t.month) strTday = Int2Digit(t.day) strThour = Int2Digit(t.hour) strTminute = Int2Digit(t.minute) timeStamp = str(t.year)+strTmonth+strTday+strThour+strTminute return timeStamp Good Luck - D
