Using %f with strftime() in Python to get microseconds

Question

I\'m trying to use strftime() to microsecond precision, which seems possible using %f (as stated here). However when I try the following code:

import time
im         


        

Answer 1

You can use datetime's strftime function to get this. The problem is that time's strftime accepts a timetuple that does not carry microsecond information.

from datetime import datetime
datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S.%f")

Should do the trick!
