What's the fastest way to get time in am/pm?

What is the fastest Python's equivalent to C#'s DateTime.Now.ToString("h tt")?

If the time is now 0905h, it will give 9 AM. If the time is now 1526h it will give 3 PM. (Assuming some English locale.)

I have seen a number of examples but they are too long.

You could just use strftime either from time:

In [4]: import time

In [5]: time.strftime("%I %p")
Out[5]: '10 AM'

Or datetime objects:

In [14]: from datetime import datetime

In [15]: today = datetime.now()

In [16]: today
Out[16]: datetime.datetime(2014, 11, 17, 10, 32, 10, 161824)

In [17]: today.strftime("%I %p")
Out[17]: '10 AM'
