The best way to filter a log by a dates range in python

Question

What\'s the best way to print log lines that match a datetime range. For example:

I would like to print only lines with dates from: 2012/09/30-00:00:10 to: 2012/09/

Answer 1

Assuming you're reading the log line by line:

import re
for line in log:
    if re.match("2012/09/30-00:00:1[0-3]", line):
        print line
