Getting current time from wolfram.com using python

Hello to all,

I am looking of a python script that can fetch date & time from wolfram or any website that gives correct time.

1. Open woflram.com website
2. Search query "time"
3. Search result displays the time.

The script has to contact the website with the search query, take that information and display it in DDMMYY HHMM format.

I already have a pyhton + windows batch script that take time from a website whose output is in simple HTML that can be processed easily. But the time format from that website dont have 'year' section. This is for my laptop that dont have battery. so i have to manually maintain time or automate it by fetching time from internet, which is easy.

Kindly help or give me a start (refer below).

I have read about HTML parsers in python. How can i get time from following HTML piece of code. i.e. "4:37:22 pm MYT | Wednesday, January 6, 2010"

Code:

<div id="pod_0200" class="pod "><hr class="top" /><h1><span>Result:</span></h1><div id="subpod_0200_1" class="sub"><div class="output" id="scannerresult_0200_1"><img src="http://www4c.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP1431990e8ecc56h866300002h0f516223185h8h?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=46" id="i_0200_1" alt="4:37:22 pm MYT  |  Wednesday, January 6, 2010" title="4:37:22 pm MYT  |  Wednesday, January 6, 2010..."   /></div><div class="annotpod"> 
	    </div>
