time in seconds python code example

Example 1: 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 2: python time library

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

Example 3: time.time()

from time import time

# 1 January 1970 is the standard date that all computers measure time against 
# Prints the number of seconds that have passed since 1 January 1970
print(time())

Example 4: time module in python

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

Example 5: python time seconds

import time

# seconds passed since epoch
seconds = 1545925769.9618232
local_time = time.ctime(seconds)
print("Local time:", local_time)

Example 6: time python

#import time module:
import time
#module has various attributes: 
dir(time)
[..., 'localtime', 'mktime', 'sleep', 'sleep_ms', 'sleep_us', 'ticks_add', 'ticks_cpu', 'ticks_diff', 'ticks_ms', 'ticks_us', 'time']

#default expression is in seconds with zero being start of runtime
secFromStart = time.time()
