If you want to sample the current time on the system running the puthon code, you can use datetime.datetime.now() (local time) or datetime.datetime.utcnow() (UTC).

Then you can format as string using .strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S").

can i use it as a parameter?
To which function do you want to pass the parameter?
.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S") that you presented
That's just the conversion from a datetime object into a string with yyyymmddHHMMSS format. But where does the date/time sting go? Which function needs the infomation?
i think i couldn't clear the question: i have multiple python files. i run with command that i presented in question. i need that because, i will use same parameter for several purposes in each class(as an id)
