Import Time # Introducing the time module
# time Stamp:
# each timestamp is represented by how long it has been since midnight on January 1, 1970 (calendar).
# but the dates before 1970 cannot be expressed in this way. Too far away from the date, UNIX and Windows only support to 2038 years.
# Python has many functions under the time module to convert common date formats. such as the function Time.time () is used to get the current timestamp, as in the following instance:
ticks = time.time ()
print ("Current timestamp:%f"% (ticks))
# Get current time
# Tm_year | 4-digit year: 2008
# Tm_mon | Months: 1 to 12
# Tm_mday | Days: 1 to 31
# Tm_hour | Hours: 0 to 23
# Tm_min | Minutes: 0 to 59
# Tm_sec | Seconds: 0 to 61 (60 or 61 is leap seconds)
# Tm_wday | Day of the week: 0 to 6 (0 is Monday)
# Tm_yday | Day of the year: 1 to 366
# TM_ISDST | Daylight Saving Time: 1 (Daylight saving Time), 0 (not daylight saving time), 1 (unknown), Default-1
# Converts from the time of the return floating-point number to the time tuple, as long as the floating-point number is passed to a function such as localtime.
localtime = Time.localtime (Time.time ())
print ("local time:%s"% (localtime))
