Python Get Current time

There are a number of ways we can take to get current time in Python.

• Using the datetime object
• Using the time module

Current time using the datetime object

Output

Current Time = 07:41:19

In the above example, we have imported the datetime class from the datetime module.

Then, we used the now() function to get a datetime object containing current date and time.

Using datetime.strftime() function, we then created a string representing current time.

Current time using time module

In Python, we can also get the current time using the time module.

Output

07:46:58

Current time of a Certain timezone

If we need to find the current time of a certain timezone, you can use the pytZ module.

Output

NY time: 03:45:16
London time: 08:45:16

Here, we have used the pytz module to find the current time of a certain time zone.
