Couple of things -- DateFormat is abstract and format is an instance
(not class) method. Jython reports it as requiring 2-3 args because the
first arg is the implicit "this".
SimpleDateFormat is instantiable and you'll need to create an instance
of it to call format:
>>> from java.text import SimpleDateFormat
>>> from java.util import Date
>>> date = Date()
>>> date
Wed Feb 20 16:05:04 CST 2002
>>> sdf = SimpleDateFormat()
>>> sdf.format(date)
'2/20/02 4:05 PM'
The Python documentation states strptime uses a default format of |"%a
%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"| (identical to ctime's formatting), so, while Jython
doesn't have strptime, you could use strftime with that format (or ctime
itself):
>>> import time
>>> time.strftime("%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y", time.localtime(time.time()))
'Wed Feb 20 16:17:28 2002'
>>> time.ctime(time.time())
'Wed Feb 20 16:20:26 2002'
