How can I generate a file in python with today's date? -

-

i have seen several post nobody answer question straight point.

im creating file in python this:

f = open('myfile.extension','w')

what should add line add date file generated?

im using import time , can current date in other part of script, dont know how add date...

thank you

assuming trying add date filename 

 datetime import datetime   datestring = datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%y/%m/%d_%h:%m:%s')  f = open('myfile_'+datestring+'.extension', 'w')

you can change format like. above print out datestring so:

datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%y/%m/%d_%h:%m:%s') '2015/08/07_16:07:37'

of course since filename may not want have /, recommend format following:

datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%y-%m-%d-%h-%m-%s') '2015-08-07-16-07-37'

here's full run of of above:

>>> datetime import datetime >>> datestring = datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%y-%m-%d-%h-%m-%s') >>> f = open('myfile_' + datestring + '.ext', 'w') >>> f.name  'myfile_2015-08-07-16-24-23.ext'

asp.net - 'System.Web.HttpContext' does not contain a definition for 'GetOwinContext' Mystery -

i realize question might seem trivial some, it's these types of things find myself fighting quite bit , want make sense of despite seeming losing battle in .net (for me anyway). so, if following: using system.web; ... applicationuser user = system.web.httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); that produces error in title , red getowincontext() , error cannot resolve symbol 'getowincontext()' however, if following (remove system.web in front of httpcontext ), works expected (or @ least no errors): using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); however, if (same line that's working using system.web commented out): //using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermana...

there new feature in mercurial 3, called 'graft' (graft local). job of moving change-set different branch. is there way "copy" change-set branch? i interested in in moving stuff qa branch production branch, still need code reside in qa. want copy. found , have tried few things, maybe it'll become clear more tinkering , reading... does have better way of 'cherry picking' change-sets move cross branch (or trunk)??? graft copies changesets, doesn't move them. hg graft (emphasis mine): this command uses mercurial's merge logic copy individual changes other branches without merging branches in history graph. known 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking' . default, graft copy user, date, , description source changesets.
