Use:

>>>
            import datetime
>>>
            datetime.datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 6, 15, 8, 24,
            78915)

>>>
            print(datetime.datetime.now())
2009-01-06
            15:08:24.789150

And
just the
time:

>>>
            datetime.datetime.now().time()
datetime.time(15, 8, 24,
            78915)

>>>
            print(datetime.datetime.now().time())
15:08:24.789150

See
rel="noreferrer">the documentation for more
information.

To save typing, you can
import the datetime object from the
datetime
module:

>>> from datetime
            import datetime

Then
remove the leading datetime. from all of the
above.
