python import time code example

Example 1: getting time python

import datetime
 
currentDT = datetime.datetime.now()
print(str(currentDT))

# prints XXXX-XX-XX XX:XX:XX.XXXXXX
# or

import datetime
 
currentDT = datetime.datetime.now()
 
print ("Current Year is: %d" % currentDT.year)
print ("Current Month is: %d" % currentDT.month)
print ("Current Day is: %d" % currentDT.day)
print ("Current Hour is: %d" % currentDT.hour)
print ("Current Minute is: %d" % currentDT.minute)
print ("Current Second is: %d" % currentDT.second)
print ("Current Microsecond is: %d" % currentDT.microsecond)
# prints
"""
Current Year is: XXXX
Current Month is: XX
Current Day is: XX
Current Hour is: XX
Current Minute is: XX
Current Second is: XX
Current Microsecond is: XXXXXX
"""

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: time.strftime

from datetime import datetime

timestamp = 1528797322
date_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)

print("Date time object:", date_time)

d = date_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S")
print("Output 2:", d)	

d = date_time.strftime("%d %b, %Y")
print("Output 3:", d)

d = date_time.strftime("%d %B, %Y")
print("Output 4:", d)

d = date_time.strftime("%I%p")
print("Output 5:", d)

Example 4: python time library

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

Example 5: time module in python

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

Example 6: time module python
