Formatting a date with Mako templates

Question

In my mako template I have:

<p>${item.addDate}</p>

It returns:

2012-12-27 19:50:00

but I would like to get:

27/12/2012 19:50

Have mako any nifty filters, format functions?

is `addDate` a string or a datetime object? – Burhan Khalid Dec 31 '12 at 11:45 — Burhan Khalid, Dec 31 '12 at 11:45

According to google, strftime should do the job:

${post.date.strftime('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M')

Also, according to google:

<%! from time import strftime as time %>
It is the ${"%d of %B" | time}
