how to convert date to other format with special chars

I'd like to convert date to such format:

2017%2C01%2C02

was trying to do this using:

date.strftime('%Y%2Cm%2Cd')

But is doesn't work.

Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong and how to solve it ?

Thanks,

In order for strftime to print % as a literal string, you need to escape it by doing %%. You also need to add another % in front of m and d like you did with Year, if you want them to be replaced by actual month and dates.

This cheat sheet is quite helpful.
