##--- Formatting ---

# Times and dates can be formatted using a set of predefined string
  # control codes

  #### Date Formatting ####
  
  # %y/%Y - Year, %a/%A - weekday, %b/%B - month, %d - day of month
	
print now.strftime("%Y") # full year with century
print now.strftime("%a, %d %B, %y") # abbreviated day, num, full month, abbreviated year
  
  # %c - locale's date and time, %x - locale's date, %X - locale's time
print now.strftime("%c")
#print now.strftime("%x")
#print now.strftime("%X")
  
  #### Time Formatting ####
  
  # %I/%H - 12/24 Hour, %M - minute, %S - second, %p - locale's AM/PM
#print now.strftime("%I:%M:%S %p") # 12-Hour:Minute:Second:AM
#print now.strftime("%H:%M") # 24-Hour:Minute
