formatting text

[grantstech]

I am creating files in a directory and they need to be formatted by month/day format, but I haven't figured out how to format text so that it always shows four numbers.
Can anyone help me out?

I'd use strftime() from the datetime module.

[code=Python]import datetime

seed_date = datetime.date(2 007,01,01)
td = datetime.timede lta(1)
fileList = [''.join((seed_d ate+td*i).strft ime('%m%d'))+'. txt' for i in range(365)][/code]
