Your subject line says you want to SET date and time.  But the body of
your message says you want to display it.

See http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html, which I got to by
searching the docs for datetime.

For date, try

import datetime
today = datetime..date.today()
datestr = today.isoformat()
print datestr


now =datetime.datetime.today()
datetimestr = now.isoformat()
print datetimestr
#2012-04-26T06:56:44.849589

For more flexibility, look up datetime.strftime()
