date/time

[Nader Emami]

L.S.,

Could somebody help me how I can get the next format of date
from the time module?

example: I have to have this time 20050105. It is the next
attributes of format %Y%m%d.

with regards,
Nader

I don't understand your question. Do you want to have the next day?

20041231 --> 20050101 ?

You can do it like this:
- parse the string with time.strptime
- timetuple[2]+=1
- mktime(timetupl e) # --> secs
- strftime(localt ime(secs))

I would use the datetime module:

[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import datetime
>>> today = datetime.date.t oday()
>>> today[/color][/color][/color]
datetime.date(2 005, 1, 5)[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> today.strftime( '%Y%m%d')[/color][/color][/color]
'20050105'[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> one_day = datetime.timede lta(1)
>>> tomorrow = today + one_day
>>> tomorrow.strfti me('%Y%m%d')[/color][/color][/color]
'20050106'

Or using the datetime module:

import time, datetime

tt = time.strptime(' 20041231', '%Y%m%d')
t = datetime.date.f romtimestamp(ti me.mktime(tt))
# now in a easier-to-handle form than the time tuple
t += datetime.timede lta(days=1)
print t.strftime('%Y% m%d')
