*grin* it is a cut and paste from some of the first python code I wrote.

It has the sole merit that it actually works as advertised, and it shows the
OP that you can actually help yourself if you try...

As I understood it, he was happy with the date - time string he got back,
except that he did not like the microseconds at the end.

I thought that showing him the formatting process from a completely different
start point might encourage him to simply trim off the end bit that he did not
need.
