Your first resort for more information about the standard library should be the online standard library reference <URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/>. Searching that reference, you'll find the documentation for the time module <URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html> and specifically the time.strftime function <URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html#l2h-2816> which describes the format codes it expects. -- \ "Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey | `\ cage." -- Henry L.
