Get the Current time in Python

Question

I want to know the module or method to get the current time in python. how do we do that?

Answer 1

To get the current date and time in python, use the following code:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now()
datetime(2018, 1, 6, 15, 8, 24, 78915)

>>> print(datetime.datetime.now())
2018-10-03 09:17:13.812189

And to get only the time, use the following code:

>>> datetime.datetime.time(datetime.datetime.now())
datetime.time(15, 8, 24, 78915)

>>> print(datetime.datetime.time(datetime.datetime.now()))
09:17:51.914526
