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

You can format a date and time using the strftime() method provided by the datetime module in Python. Here is an example of how you can format the current date and time in the format you specified:

main.py
import datetime

now = datetime.datetime.now()

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

print("Formatted date and time:", formatted_date)
160 chars
8 lines

In this code, we first import the datetime module. Then, we get the current date and time using the now() method of the datetime class.

Next, we use the strftime() method to format the date and time. The %B directive represents the full month name, %d represents the date, %Y represents the year, %I represents the hour in 12-hour format, %M represents the minute, %S represents the second, %f represents the microsecond, %p represents the AM/PM designator, and %Z represents the timezone.

Finally, we print the formatted date and time using the print() function. The output will look something like this:

main.py
Formatted date and time: April 04, 2022 02:08:35.590449 PM Pacific Daylight Time
