Python: Print structure time in local time

Python Datetime: Exercise-61 with Solution

Write a Python program that takes a given number of seconds and pass since epoch as an argument. Print structure time in local time.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import time
result = time.localtime(414538698)
print("\nResult:", result)
print("\nYear:", result.tm_year)

Sample Output: 

Result: time.struct_time(tm_year=1983, tm_mon=2, tm_mday=19, tm_hour=21, tm_min=38, tm_sec=18, tm_wday=5, tm_yday=50, tm_isdst=0)

Year: 1983

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
