Getting time from the system

[psbasha]

Hi,

Is there any functions available for finding the time from the system?.I would like to find the start time and end time of the processing of the application after execution.

Thanks in advance

check out the time module. you should really spend some time here , especially the library reference

From the time module:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime( time.time())
(2007, 3, 6, 22, 8, 18, 1, 65, 0)
>>> time.strftime(' %H:%M:%S', time.localtime( time.time()))
'22:08:50'
>>>

looking at the OP's post again, i think he needs the timeit module.. :)

Good catch GD; thanks for keeping an eye on me.
This may be more what PSB is looking for:

from time import time, sleep
startTime = time()
for i in range(5):
    sleep(.5)
print "Elapsed time is %.1f" % (time() - startTime)

Thanks for the reply.

This is what I am looking for.

Is there any method available ,which gives the time in this format HH:MM:SS

See reply #3. for strftime() usage.

See reply #3. for strftime() usage.

I would like to find the start and end time difference in this format
HH:MM:SS

show some stuff you have done with strftime(). barton have already directed you where to look for examples.

The datetime module is what you're looking for:

>>> import datetime
>>> startTime = time.time()
>>> elapsedTime = time.time() - startTime
>>> t = datetime.time(0,0,int(elapsedTime), (elapsedTime%1)*1000)
>>> t.isoformat()
'00:00:31'
>>>

Output: '00:00:31.00061 5'
Use datetime.dateti me for periods greater than 24 hours.

The datetime module is what you're looking for:

>>> import datetime

>>> elapsedTime = time.time() - startTime
>>> t = datetime.time(0,0,int(elapsedTime), (elapsedTime%1)*1000)
>>> t.isoformat()
'00:00:31'
>>>

Output: '00:00:31.00061 5'
Use datetime.dateti me for periods greater than 24 hours.

Hint:
you have "from time import time" from the begining of your code.

Thanks Barton,
This is what I am looking for.
I need this functionality for finding out ,how much time my application is taking for execution.Based on the more time taken I have to find out which function is taking more time ( similar to profiling).
