Python Time and datetime modules

Time Module

Time ()--return current time in seconds since the Epoch as a float
Clock ()--return CPU time since process start as a float
Sleep ()--delay for a number of seconds given as a float
Gmtime ()--convert seconds since Epoch to UTC tuple
LocalTime ()--convert seconds since Epoch to local time tuple
Asctime ()--Convert time tuple to string
CTime ()--convert time in seconds to string
Mktime ()--convert local time tuple to seconds since Epoch
Strftime ()--Convert time tuple to string according to format specification
Strptime ()--parse string to time tuple according to format specification
Tzset ()--Change the local timezone
