Read up about strftime (a function, not a method).

Generally, if you know you'll be using something for more than a few
uses, it is worth reading the entire documentation for that module.
People put a fair amount of effort into documentation, and they do it
to reduce the number of questions they have to answer one user at a
time.  Reading the results of that effort before asking shows courtesy.
Few people mind explaining unclear documentation when the confusing part
is identified (and they know the answer).  Similarly, asking (5000?, a
million?) to each spend a second so you can save an hour is bad economics.
