Obtain Linux system time using Python

VI testtime. py

Import time
Print time. strftime ("% Y-% m-% d % H: % m: % S % Z", time. localtime (Time. Time ()));

Run

Python testtime. py

The following is a reprinted article:

To obtain the current time, you need to obtain the timestamp of the current time. The timestamp seems to be the time between January 1, 1970 and the present time.

You can try the following method to obtain the timestamp of the current time:
Import time
Print time. Time ()
The output result is:
1279578704.6725271

However, this is a series of numbers that are not what we want. We can use the time module to format the time:
Time. localtime (Time. Time ())
The time. localtime () method is used to format the timestamp as the local time.
The output result is:
Time. struct_time (tm_year = 2010, tm_mon = 7, tm_mday = 19, tm_hour = 22, tm_min = 33, tm_sec = 39, tm_wday = 0, tm_yday = 200, tm_isdst = 0)

Now it seems that we want the desired time.
Time. strftime ('% Y-% m-% d', time. localtime (Time. Time ()))

Finally, we used the time. strftime () method to format a large string of information we wanted. The result is:
2010-07-19

Time. strftime has many parameters that allow you to output what you want at will:
The parameters of time. strftime are as follows:
Strftime (Format [, tuple])-> string
Returns the specified struct_time (current time by default) according to the specified formatted string.
Time and date formatting symbols in Python:
% Y two-digit year (00-99)
% Y indicates the four-digit year (000-9999)
% M month (01-12)
One day in % d month (0-31)
% H hour in 24-hour format (0-23)
% I 12-hour (01-12)
% M minutes (00 = 59)
% S seconds (00-59)

% A local simplified week name
% A local full week name
% B local simplified month name
% B local full month name
% C local Date and Time
% J one day in the year (001-366)
% P local equivalent of a. m. or P. M.
% U number of weeks in a year (00-53) Sunday is the start of the week
% W Week (0-6), Sunday is the beginning of the week
% W number of weeks in a year (00-53) Monday is the start of the week
% X local date Representation
% X Local Time Representation
% Z Current Time Zone name
% Itself
