greetings,
there are many ways to do this (as with everything), but here's what I came
up with:
[~] [9:53pm] [jam at toast-pts/8] % python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb 1 2000, 16:32:16) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux
(egcs- on linux-i386

>>> import time
>>> t = time.localtime(time.time())
>>> print time.strftime("%A %d %B %Y %H:%Mhr", t)
Tuesday 20 June 2000 21:55hr
for examples of the parameters available in strftime, check the man page
('man strftime'). you can also find documentation from the python website
about the 'time' module here:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-time.html
hope that helps a little.. have fun! ;)
regards,
J
