You are right, I should have. But I did not think it was the point of the
E-mail. ;-)
But yes you should be definitely using something like this (not tried, could
have a typo):
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()
formatter = request.locale.getDateTimeFormatter('long')
return formatter.format(now)
Eventually, you should be able to do this in zpt:
<p tal:content="datetime:now/format:long" />
which automatically localizes. Note that I have done the second part of this
as a recipe in the cookbook as an example of creating a TALES namespace. The
datetime namespace would not be much more difficult though.
Regards,
Stephan
