format a date in to the format month day, year hour:minute:second.fff am/pm in python

You can format a datetime object using strftime method of the datetime library. Here is an example code snippet that formats a datetime in the mentioned format:


main.py
from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
formatted_date_string = now.strftime("%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S.%f %p")

print(formatted_date_string)
147 chars
7 lines

In this code, we create a datetime object now using datetime.now() and then use its strftime method to format it as per our requirement. The strftime formatting codes used in the above example are:

%B: Full month name
%d: Day of the month (zero padded)
%Y: Year (4 digits)
%I: Hour (12-hour clock) (zero padded)
%M: Minute (zero padded)
%S: Second (zero padded)
%f: Microsecond (zero padded)
%p: AM/PM (upper case)
