Is there a format for printing Python datetimes that won't use zero-padding on dates and times?
Format I'm using now:
mydatetime.strftime('%m/%d/%Y %I:%M%p')
Result: 02/29/2012 05:03PM
Desired: 2/29/2012 5:03PM
What format would represent the month as '2' instead of '02', and time as '5:03PM' instead of '05:03PM'
The other alternate to avoid the "all or none" leading zero aspect above is to place a minus in front of the field type:
mydatetime.strftime('%-m/%d/%Y %-I:%M%p')
Then this: '4/10/2015 03:00AM'
Becomes: '4/10/2015 3:00AM'
You can optionally place a minus in front of the day if desired.
Edit: The minus feature derives from the GNU C library (“glibc”) as mentioned in the Linux strftime manpage under “Glibc notes”
