How do I get the current time in Python?
Use datetime: >>> import datetime >>> now = datetime.datetime.now() >>> now datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 6, 15, 8, 24, 78915) >>> str(now) '2009-01-06 15:08:24.078915' For just the clock time without the date: >>> now.time() datetime.time(15, 8, 24, 78915) >>> str(now.time()) '15:08:24.078915' To save typing, you can import the datetime object from the datetime module: from datetime import datetime Then remove the prefix datetime. from all of the above.
