format a date in to the format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fff zzz' in python

You can use the datetime module in Python for formatting dates. Here's an example:

main.py
import datetime

# Set the date
my_date = datetime.datetime.now()

# Format the date as a string with timezone
my_date_str = my_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f %Z')

print(my_date_str)
189 chars
10 lines

This will output a string in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fff zzz' ( e.g. '2021-06-08 14:25:01.123456 UTC')

Note that the %Z format code will show the timezone abbreviation (e.g. 'UTC', 'EST', etc.), but it will only work if the timezone information is available on your system. If you need to specify a specific timezone, you can use the pytz library in Python.

main.py
import datetime
import pytz

# Set the timezone
my_tz = pytz.timezone('US/Pacific')

# Set the date
my_date = datetime.datetime.now(my_tz)

# Format the date as a string with timezone
my_date_str = my_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f %Z')

print(my_date_str)
262 chars
14 lines

This will output a string in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fff zzz' with the timezone you specified. (e.g. '2021-06-08 07:25:01.123456 PDT')
