I'm just playing at the moment, learning things.

In global.py, i've added the following line after time_separator
time_format = "%a %b %d %H" + time_separator + "%M" + time_separator + "%S
%Y"

and in dup_time.py, changed timetopretty
from :
def timetopretty(timeinseconds):
    """Return pretty version of time"""
    return time.asctime(time.localtime(timeinseconds))

to :
def timetopretty(timeinseconds):
    """Return pretty version of time"""
    #return time.asctime(time.localtime(timeinseconds))
    return time.strftime(globals.time_format, time.localtime
(timeinseconds))


this effectively moves the formatting over to the variable : "time_format"

altering the value in globals.py for time_format and rerunning
collection-status; it can be shown that the variable time_format is
working.

So the actual question, how do i get it to be a command line option
(disregarding the config file option for the moment)

I've tried a few things, but i really don't know what i'm doing with python
    parser.add_option("--time-format", action="store_const", const=str,
dest="time-format")
yields the error "Command line error: Expected 1 args, got 2" when i used
--time-format '%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S' or "%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S" or "
%Y:%b:%d:%H:%M:%S"

the second argument appears to be the "target_url" as the following seems
to imply
duplicity --time-format '%Y:%b:%d:%H:%M:%S' collection-status
scp://address@hidden:54321//backup/
Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 3
