I am trying to add date and time to the uploaded file.
If the filename is filename.xml then I would like to change the name to filename-<date>-<time>.xml
def handle_uploaded_file(self, f):
name = "static/uploads/{0}".format(f.name)
with open(name, 'wb+') as destination:
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You can use datetime module to get date and time separately.
Solution:
from datetime import datetime
def handle_uploaded_file(self, f):
_datetime = datetime.now()
datetime_str = _datetime.strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")
# if there are more than one dots
file_name_split = f.name.split('.')
file_name_list = file_name_split[:-1]
ext = file_name_split[-1]
file_name_wo_ext = '.'.join(file_name_list)
name = '/path/to/uploads/{0}-{1}.{2}'.format(file_name_wo_ext, datetime_str, ext)
# rest of the code

Follow this answer if you want to remove the microsecond component from time.

You can use string concatenation with datetime module. Look below for the small snippet as an example.
import datetime
name = 'filename.xml'
name = name[:-4] + '_'+str(today.ctime()) + '_.xml'
print(name)
import datetime
date_time = datetime.datetime.now()
def handle_uploaded_file(self, f):
name = "static/uploads/{0}".format(f.name)
file_name,extension = name.split('.')
modified_name = file_name+''+date_time
name = modified_name+extension
with open(name, 'wb+') as destination:
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
date_time = datetime.now() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'now'import datetime.datetime ImportError: No module named 'datetime.datetime'; 'datetime' is not a package
format(f.name)
