Display the date, like “May 5th”, using pythons strftime? [duplicate]

Answer 1

This seems to add the appropriate suffix, and remove the ugly leading zeroes in the day number:

#!/usr/bin/python

import time

day_endings = {
    1: 'st',
    2: 'nd',
    3: 'rd',
    21: 'st',
    22: 'nd',
    23: 'rd',
    31: 'st'
}

def custom_strftime(format, t):
    return time.strftime(format, t).replace('{TH}', str(t[2]) + day_endings.get(t[2], 'th'))

print custom_strftime('%B {TH}, %Y', time.localtime())
