L.S.,

Could somebody help me how I can get the next format of date
from the time module?

example: I have to have this time 20050105. It is the next
attributes of format %Y%m%d.

with regards,
Nader

>>> import time
>>> time.strftime('%Y%m%d',time.localtime())
'20050105'

I don't understand your question. Do you want to have the next day?

20041231 --> 20050101 ?

You can do it like this:
- parse the string with time.strptime
- timetuple[2]+=1
- mktime(timetuple) # --> secs
- strftime(localtime(secs))

I would use the datetime module:


>>> import datetime
>>> today = datetime.date.today()
>>> today
datetime.date(2005, 1, 5)
>>> today.strftime('%Y%m%d')
'20050105'
>>> one_day = datetime.timedelta(1)
>>> tomorrow = today + one_day
>>> tomorrow.strftime('%Y%m%d')
'20050106'

Or using the datetime module:

import time, datetime

tt = time.strptime('20041231', '%Y%m%d')
t = datetime.date.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(tt))
# now in a easier-to-handle form than the time tuple
t += datetime.timedelta(days=1)
print t.strftime('%Y%m%d')
