Simplest solution for formatting local time in iso 8601 includingtime zone.

[rowland]

What's the simplest solution for formatting the output of local time
in iso 8601 including the time zone information?

Example:

"2008-07-25T14:28:43.934-04:00"


Thanks,
Rowland

You want the isoformat() method of datetime objects.
See http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime-datetime.html for details.

You'll need to pass 'T' as the separator to isoformat() and pass in a
tzinfo object when constructing the datetime object.
