I am using a recursive function to print the time and a few other
things on each pass. ( the function calculates size of file that is
being transferred and if not 100 % copied, it waits 20 secs and checks
again).
i would expect the time to be correct anytime it is used:
<--code below -->>
print time.strftime('%m-%d-%Y %H:%m:%S')
<--code above -->>
here is an example of what i am seeing:
16:07:16
16:07:36
16:07:56
16:07:16
16:07:36
16:07:56
16:07:16
16:07:36
16:07:56
Your output doesn't match your format string:

In [1]: import time

In [2]: print time.strftime('%m-%d-%Y %H:%m:%S')
07-21-2009 17:07:16

There's no way to tell why your output times seem to repeat without
seeing the code that surrounds your "print time.strftime('%m-%d-%Y %H:
%m:%S')" line.

sorry, yes, i did manually filter the output.

here is the function:

def log_out(msg,servername='std.out'):
        print msg
        open(log_dir + '\\' + servername + ".log",'a').write(servername + "-"
+ time.strftime('%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S') + " " + msg+'\n')

on each pass, it should output the newer time (whether recursive or
not, right) ?

Maybe it does, but you were outputting the month ("07") instead of the
minutes; the seconds were changing.
