Another 3 days, 80 Python DateTime examples, must be bookmarked!

Working with time-formatted data in Python is very common in everyday work, so today I’ll share datetime-related examples

The article is very long, high and low to endure, if not endure, then collect it, always used

Radish brother also thoughtful made a PDF, at the end of the article to get!

Use the time module to display the current date and time

import time
from time import gmtime, strftime
 
t = time.localtime()
print (time.asctime(t))
print(strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", gmtime()))
print(strftime("%A", gmtime()))
print(strftime("%D", gmtime()))
print(strftime("%B", gmtime()))
print(strftime("%y", gmtime()))
 
# Convert seconds into GMT date
print(strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", gmtime(1234567890)))
Copy the code

Output:

Sun May 7 09:30:37 2017
Sun, 07 May 2017 04:00:37 +0000

Convert days, hours, and minutes to seconds

SECONDS_PER_MINUTE  = 60
SECONDS_PER_HOUR    = 3600
SECONDS_PER_DAY     = 86400
 
#Read the inputs from user
days    = int(input("Enter number of Days: "))
hours   = int(input("Enter number of Hours: "))
minutes = int(input("Enter number of Minutes: "))
seconds = int(input("Enter number of Seconds: "))
 
#Calculate the days, hours, minutes and seconds
total_seconds = days * SECONDS_PER_DAY
total_seconds = total_seconds + ( hours * SECONDS_PER_HOUR)
total_seconds = total_seconds + ( minutes * SECONDS_PER_MINUTE)
total_seconds = total_seconds + seconds
 
#Display the result
print("Total number of seconds: "."%d"%(total_seconds))
Copy the code

Output:

Enter number of Days: 5
Enter number of Hours: 36
Enter number of Minutes: 24
Enter number of Seconds: 15
