Creating time stamps

I have some code that generates a time-stamp as follows:
from datetime import datetime
tt = datetime.now()
timestamp = "%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d" % \
(tt.year, tt.month, tt.day, tt.hour, tt.minute)
I later realized that I could have written it as:
from datetime import datetime
from time import strftime
timestamp = datetime.now().strftime( "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" )
The first seems a little clunky with its accessing of multiple
attributes, but the second has an additional import. Is there
any reason to prefer one over the other?

There's no "me" in "team". There's no "us" in "team", either.
