Add methods to convert datetimes to formatted strings

[boccileonardo]

Currently (0.6.16 ver) I have not found in the docs a way to turn a whenever object (instant or zoneddatetime) to a formatted string.
Is this in the roadmap?

Hi @boccileonardo, thanks for posting. Formatting in standard ways in supported with format_common_iso() as well as format_rfc2822() and format_rfc3339() (only Instant and OffsetDateTime though).

You probably mean customizable formatting like strftime though, right? This is on the roadmap for after 1.0 is released. For now, you'd have to convert to the standard library first, like d.py_datetime().strftime().

If you have any specific suggestions for customized formatting, feel free to post them.

@boccileonardo I'm closing this issue for now, so the conversation can be centralized in issue #174. Let me know if I missed anything in my earlier reply.

All good, you got exactly my point, sorry for the long delay in reply, I was out on holidays.
