The format is documented in the Library Reference, at
<http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html#l2h-2816>
%A is Locale's full weekday name (Thursday in your example)
%B is Locale's full month name (December in your example)
If you want to see how all other formats work:
import time
import string
now = time.localtime()
for char in string.ascii_letters:
fmt = "%"+char
try:
result = time.strftime(fmt, now)
except:
pass
else:
if result:
print "%s\t%s" % (fmt, result)
This is my output:
%a Wed
%b Dec
%c 12/19/07 22:31:40
%d 19
%j 353
