Date and Time Manipulation

The following sections describe examples of how to use dates and times in Python scripts in Chameleon. Most of these examples use strftime, which is a built-in Python function that returns the current date and time as a formatted string.


	For more information on the strftime function and other time-related capabilities in Python, see Getting Time Information.
