Formatting "yesterday's" date in python

>>> from datetime import date, timedelta>>> yesterday = date.today() - timedelta(days=1)>>> yesterday.strftime('%m%d%y')'110909'

python datetime date

from datetime import datetime, timedeltayesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)yesterday.strftime('%m%d%y')
