Newb question about %02d %04d

people saying "Well python 3 isn't really python."

That's just silly. I've been programming Python for about 15 years now. Python 3 is Python. Python 3 is better Python. Soon, Python 3 will be the only Python.

That's just people who are too attached to their old code to adapt and move on. And in computer programming, you need to adapt and move on. If I hadn't adapted and moved on I'd be sitting around complaining that "if it isn't Dartmouth BASIC, it isn't programming!".
