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

When the "%f" for micro seconds isn't working, please use the following method:

import datetime

def getTimeStamp():
    dt = datetime.datetime.now()
    return dt.strftime("%Y%j%H%M%S") + str(dt.microsecond)
