You may want to look at the time module (doc. included within the standard 
Python documentation and also at 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-time.html )
	Anyways, here is what you needed in an interpreter session:
-----------------------------------------
Python 2.2.1 (#3, May  8 2002, 19:51:42) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> time.ctime()
'Sat Jun  8 15:49:39 2002'
>>> time.ctime().split()[3]
'15:53:43'
>>> 
------------------------------------------

Hope that helps

Peace
Steve
