python os time code example

Example 1: simple time in python

t = time.localtime()            # Gets the local time
current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M", t)          # Gets the time in the desired format
current_time = "The time is " + current_time

Example 2: python clock

# Here is a self updating clock function, just run it and it'll self update itself until you hit CTRL-C
import datetime
import time
def clock():
    while True:
        print(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S"), end="\r")
        time.sleep(1)

clock()

Example 3: python time library

#also see datetime
import time
now = time.time()
print(now)

Example 4: time module in python

import time
seconds = time.time()
print("Seconds since epoch =", seconds)
