Military Time

[wocosc]

I have a quick question.. How can get python to take whatever time of day it is, and output it as military time? I already know how to get it to return the specific time.

I would like to store the current time and then convert it to military time and then print it on screen. Any help would be great..

I would use time.localtime( ) see docs and build whatever format I wanted out of the returned list.

>>> import time
>>> time.localtime()
(2007, 4, 25, 11, 56, 26, 2, 115, 1)

Once you have a time object, as in:

theTime = time.localtime()

use strftime() to format the output. strftime() takes a fomat string like "%H:%m:%s" to make the format what ever you specify:I'd like to be of more help, but I'm at a compter that doesn't have Python installed on it.
