Introduction to the practical application of Python time

Python time is a commonly used language for computer applications. If you have any questions about Python time, you can read the following articles to better understand it, the following is a detailed description of the article. I hope you will gain some benefits.

. We pilot a required module

 
 

  
  
>>>ISOTIMEFORMAT=’%Y-%m-%d %X’ 
 
 

Let's take a look at the current time. Similar to many other languages, this is from epoch January 1, 1970 00:00:00) to the current number of seconds.

 
 

  
  
>>> time.time()  
  
  
1180759620.859  
 
 

The above cannot be understood. Please change the format to see it.

 
 

  
  
>>> time.localtime()  
  
  
(2007, 6, 2, 12, 47, 7, 5, 153, 0)  
 
 

Localtime returns the time in tuple format. There is a function similar to it called gmtime (). The difference between the two functions is the time zone, and gmtime () returns the value of the 0 time zone, localtime returns the value of the current time zone.

 
 

  
  
>>> time.strftime( ISOTIMEFORMAT, time.localtime() )  
  
  
‘2007-06-02 12:54:29′  
 
 

We have defined the time format and used strftime to convert the time. If the current Python time is used, time. localtime () does not need to be used.

 
 

  
  
>>> time.strftime( ISOTIMEFORMAT, time.localtime( time.time() ) )  
  
  
‘2007-06-02 12:54:31′  
  
  
>>> time.strftime( ISOTIMEFORMAT, time.gmtime( time.time() ) )  
  
  
‘2007-06-02 04:55:02′  
 
 

The difference between gmtime and localtime is shown above. View the time zone

 
 

  
  
>>> time.timezone

The above article introduces the actual operation steps of Python time.
