title: Extracting double-digit months and days from a Python date
body: <p>Is there a way to extract month and day using isoformats? Lets assume today's date is March 8, 2013.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; d = datetime.date.today()
  &gt;&gt;&gt; d.month
  3
  &gt;&gt;&gt; d.day
  8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; d = datetime.date.today()
  &gt;&gt;&gt; d.month
  03
  &gt;&gt;&gt; d.day
  08
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can do this by writing if statements and concatenating a leading 0 in case the day or month is a single digit but was wondering whether there was an automatic way of generating what I want.</p>
