How do I get the current time in Python?
There are two ways you can get the current time in python.
- using the
datetimeobject - using the
timemodule
Using the datetime object
First, you need to import the datetime module. Then by calling the now method, you can create a datetime object containing the current date and time.
from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()
current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print(current_time)
This will output:
11:26:11
Using the strftime you can convert the datetime to a string by specifying the format.
Using the time module
First, import the time module, then call the localtime method to create a time object.
import time
t = time.localtime()
current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", t)
print(current_time)
11:26:11
Using the strftime you can convert the time to a string by specifying the format.
