I need to find "yesterday's" date in this format MMDDYY in Python.

So for instance, today's date would be represented like this: 111009

I can easily do this for today but I have trouble doing it automatically for "yesterday".

Could I just make this somewhat more international and format the date according to the international standard and not in the weird month-day-year, that is common in the US?

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)
yesterday.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
