In Python how do I convert a datetime object like datetime.datetime(2010, 12, 18, 22, 21, 45, 277000) to something like "Sun Dec 18 2010 22:21:45 GMT+0000 (UTC)"?

2There's a trick to this. It's called search. If you search for "formatting datetime" you'll find hundreds of copies of your exact question.S.Lott– S.Lott2011-07-27 14:35:23 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2011 at 14:35

You can use strftime for this purpose. Read more here.
Not sure about utc offset, but seems that you can use something like this:
import datetime
d = datetime.datetime(2010, 12, 18, 22, 21, 45, 277000)
d.strftime("%a %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z")
>>> Sat Dec 18 2010 22:21:45
Where using the link above:
%a - Locale’s abbreviated weekday name
%b - Locale’s abbreviated month name
%d - Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31]
%H - Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23]
%M - Minute as a decimal number [00,59]
%S - Second as a decimal number [00,61]
%z - UTC offset in the form +HHMM or -HHMM (empty string if the the object is naive)
