Python date formatting without space?
How to display the following without any space also could we substitute a separator instead of space?
> log_time=datetime.datetime.now()
> print log_time

This works like a charm!
Using T as separator
This conforms to the ISO standard for datetime representation. It should be readable by other libraries/software.
import datetime datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.f%z")
Example: 2024-07-11T09:31:30.123456+0000
Without any separator
import datetime datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
Using - as separator
import datetime datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")
Using _ as separator
import datetime datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S")

Use regular expression
import datetime
import re
print( re.sub("\D", "", str(datetime.datetime.now())) )
or use the join method
print( ''.join(i for i in str(datetime.datetime.now()) if i.isdigit()) )
