[Tutor] fileinput question

[Ezra Taylor]

Hello all:
                 Can I do the below with input() from fileinput?  If
this is not possible, what can I do to create backup files with the
date timestamp as an extension.  Thanks for you help all.


from time import strftime

for line in fileinput.input(inplace=1,backup='.strftime("%Y-%b-%d.%S")'
           do something.
