    Re: time module methods give an am or pm value ?

    Hello again,

    Does anyone know which method in the time module will generate and am
    or pm ?
    If none of the method will do this for me. Can I produce the value on
    my own ?
    Any suggestions ?

      >>from time import *
      >>strftime('%I: %M:%S %p',localtime(t ime()))
      '07:23:24 AM'
      >>strftime('%I: %M:%S %p',gmtime(time ()))
      '02:23:39 PM'

          Read up about strftime (a function, not a method).

          Generally, if you know you'll be using something for more than a few
          uses, it is worth reading the entire documentation for that module.
          People put a fair amount of effort into documentation, and they do it
          to reduce the number of questions they have to answer one user at a
          time. Reading the results of that effort before asking shows courtesy.
          Few people mind explaining unclear documentation when the confusing part
          is identified (and they know the answer). Similarly, asking (5000?, a
          million?) to each spend a second so you can save an hour is bad economics.

              Hello Mark,

              Thank you very much. I finally found this function in the
              documentation.

                  Hello Scott,

                  Thank you very much. I did find this function after shortly after I
                  posted this question.
                  I appreciated your help :-). And you are right, I do need to be a
                  better job of checking
                  the documentation, before I post. Thank you again for your help.
