Parameters
• sec -- These are the number of seconds to be converted into string representation.
Return Value
This method does not return any value.
Example
The following example shows the usage of ctime() method.
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
print "time.ctime() : %s" % time.ctime()
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
time.ctime() : Tue Feb 17 10:00:18 2009
time.gmtime([secs])
Description
The method gmtime() converts a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to a struct_time in UTC in which the
dst flag is always zero. If secs is not provided or None, the current time as returned by time() is used.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for gmtime() method:
time.gmtime([ sec ])
Parameters
• sec -- These are the number of seconds to be converted into structure struct_time representation.
Return Value
This method does not return any value.
Example
The following example shows the usage of gmtime() method.
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
print "time.gmtime() : %s" % time.gmtime()
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
time.gmtime() : time.struct_time(tm_year=2013, tm_mon=4, tm_mday=28, tm_hour=12,
tm_min=29, tm_sec=48, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=118, tm_isdst=0)
