Python strftime - date without leading 0?

Python strftime - date without leading 0?

In Python's strftime function, you can use the %#d directive to include the day of the month without leading zeros. Here's an example:

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()

# Use %#d to get the day of the month without leading zeros
formatted_date = now.strftime("%#d %B %Y")
print(formatted_date)

In this example, %#d will give you the day of the month without leading zeros. Adjust the format string as needed for your specific requirements.

Keep in mind that the behavior of the %#d directive may vary across platforms. If you are on Windows and %#d doesn't work as expected, you can use %-d instead:

formatted_date = now.strftime("%-d %B %Y")

This should give you the day of the month without leading zeros on most platforms, including Windows.
