Python time time() Function
Description:
This function returns the time as a floating point number expressed in seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
Note: Even though the time is always returned as a floating point number, not all systems provide time with a better precision than 1 second. While this function normally returns non-decreasing values, it can return a lower value than a previous call if the system clock has been set back between the two calls.
Syntax:
Parameters:
Here is the detail of parameters:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
print "time.time(): %f " % time.time()
print time.localtime( time.time() )
print time.asctime( time.localtime(time.time()) )
|
This produces following result:
time.time(): 1234892919.655932
