Create Dir With Datetime Name And Subfiles Within Directory (python)

I'm currently looking to create a directory on Linux using Python v2.7 with the directory name as the date and time (ie. 27-10-2011 23:00:01). My code for this is below:- import ti

Solution 1:

Sure, just save the time in a variable and then use that variable for the substitutions:

now = time.localtime()[0:6]
dirname = dirfmt % now
csvafile = os.path.join(dirname, csvafmt % now)
csvbfile = os.path.join(dirname, csvbfmt % now)
logfile = os.path.join(dirname, logfmt % now)

Edited to include creating the complete path to your csv and log files.

Solution 2:

Only call time.localtime once.

current_time = time.localtime()[0:6]

csvafile = csvafmt % current_time 
csvbfile = csvbfmt % current_time 
logfile = logfmt % current_time
