Re: Set or update timestamp after evaluation of code block?

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

Here is one approach:

#+name: update-timestamp
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=""
(concat
 "Last run: "
 (format-time-string "[%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M:%S]" (current-time))
 "\n" data)
#+END_SRC


#+BEGIN_SRC python :post update-timestamp(data=*this*)
print('hello')
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: Last run: [2015-09-21 Mon 11:09:18]
: hello
