Add date time variable to results files-CodePudding

I am starting out in Python.

I am doin a quality control analysis of data and I am looking for a function that adds the date and time to the figures/tables/data that comes out of the jupyter notebook.

I found the datetime Python package and I wanted to ask how to use it to add a date variable to these outputs.

As an example, this is the line to store an adata object in a file:

adata.write(data_dir 'data_filtered.h5ad')

Any ideas on how I could add a date variable to it so that if I repeat it tomorrow I can distinguish the different analysis?

As I mentioned, I am starting out so I would appreciate your help a lot.

Edit

I would like to add the date to the file name and in the case of tables and figures add in them as well.

CodePudding user response：

Add the date(time) in the name of the file, replace :

adata.write(data_dir   'data_filtered.h5ad')

import datetime as dt
current_date = dt.date.today()
current_date_str = current_date.isoformat()

filename = data_dir   'data_filtered_'   current_date_str   '.h5ad'
adata.write(filename)
