How to Use the mktime () method in Python, pythonmktime

The mktime () method is the localtime () inverse function. Its parameters are struct_time or all 9 tuples. It returns a floating point number for compatibility with time ().

If the input value cannot be expressed as a valid time, the OverflowError or ValueError error is thrown.
Syntax

The following is the syntax of the mktime () method:

Time. mktime (t)

Parameters

• T -- this is struct_time or full 9 tuples.

Return Value

This method returns a floating point number for compatibility time ().
Example

The following example shows how to use the mktime () method.

#! /Usr/bin/pythonimport timet = (2009, 2, 17, 17, 3, 38, 1, 48, 0) secs = time. mktime (t) print "time. mktime (t): % f "% secsprint" asctime (localtime (secs): % s "% time. asctime (time. localtime (secs ))

When we run the above program, it will produce the following results:

Time. mktime (t): 1234915418.000000 asctime (localtime (secs): Tue Feb 17 17:03:38 2014
