import time

def ISOtime(style):
    thetime = time.localtime(time.time())
    if style == 0:
        return time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", thetime)
    elif style == 1:
        return time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d", thetime)
    elif style == 2:
        return time.strftime("%Y-%b-%S", thetime)
    elif style == 3:
        return time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", thetime)
    elif style == 4:
        return time.strftime("%Y-%b-%d %H:%M:%S", thetime)
    else:
        return "unknown style"


Now you can use this function wherever you want!
