If you want to format a datetime object in a specific format, it is better to explicitly specify the desired format. You can use the below given code:

Input:

import time
time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Output:

'2019-08-02 11:42:11'

The above shown code used local time by default, if you need UTC you can use the following:

Input:

time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.gmtime())

Output:

'2019-08-02 11:44:14'
