Python学习之time模块的基本使用

时间：2021-01-17来源：www.pcxitongcheng.com作者：电脑系统城

前言

在我们学习的过程中，肯定会用到各种各样的模块。所以今天我们从time模块开始学习

首先我们在使用某个模块的时候，肯定要先导入这个模块

1	`import` `time`

而当我们想看看这个模块是干什么的，我们可以使用help函数来看

1	`print(help(time))` `# 打印帮助信息`

Help on built-in module time:

NAME
time - This module provides various functions to manipulate time values.

DESCRIPTION
There are two standard representations of time. One is the number
of seconds since the Epoch, in UTC (a.k.a. GMT). It may be an integer
or a floating point number (to represent fractions of seconds).
The Epoch is system-defined; on Unix, it is generally January 1st, 1970.
The actual value can be retrieved by calling gmtime(0).

The other representation is a tuple of 9 integers giving local time.
The tuple items are:
year (including century, e.g. 1998)
month (1-12)
day (1-31)
hours (0-23)
minutes (0-59)
seconds (0-59)
weekday (0-6, Monday is 0)
Julian day (day in the year, 1-366)
DST (Daylight Savings Time) flag (-1, 0 or 1)
If the DST flag is 0, the time is given in the regular time zone;
if it is 1, the time is given in the DST time zone;
if it is -1, mktime() should guess based on the date and time.

CLASSES
builtins.tuple(builtins.object)
struct_time

class struct_time(builtins.tuple)
| struct_time(iterable=(), /)

FUNCTIONS
asctime(...)
asctime([tuple]) -> string

Convert a time tuple to a string, e.g. 'Sat Jun 06 16:26:11 1998'.
When the time tuple is not present, current time as returned by localtime()
is used.

ctime(...)
ctime(seconds) -> string

Convert a time in seconds since the Epoch to a string in local time.
This is equivalent to asctime(localtime(seconds)). When the time tuple is
not present, current time as returned by localtime() is used.

get_clock_info(...)
get_clock_info(name: str) -> dict

Get information of the specified clock.

gmtime(...)
gmtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year, tm_mon, tm_mday, tm_hour, tm_min,
tm_sec, tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_isdst)

Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing UTC (a.k.a.
GMT). When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.

If the platform supports the tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, they are available as
attributes only.

localtime(...)
localtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year,tm_mon,tm_mday,tm_hour,tm_min,
tm_sec,tm_wday,tm_yday,tm_isdst)

Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing local time.
When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.

mktime(...)
mktime(tuple) -> floating point number

Convert a time tuple in local time to seconds since the Epoch.
Note that mktime(gmtime(0)) will not generally return zero for most
time zones; instead the returned value will either be equal to that
of the timezone or altzone attributes on the time module.

monotonic(...)
monotonic() -> float

Monotonic clock, cannot go backward.

monotonic_ns(...)
monotonic_ns() -> int

Monotonic clock, cannot go backward, as nanoseconds.

perf_counter(...)
perf_counter() -> float

Performance counter for benchmarking.

perf_counter_ns(...)
perf_counter_ns() -> int

Performance counter for benchmarking as nanoseconds.

process_time(...)
process_time() -> float

Process time for profiling: sum of the kernel and user-space CPU time.

process_time_ns(...)
process_time() -> int

Process time for profiling as nanoseconds:
sum of the kernel and user-space CPU time.

sleep(...)
sleep(seconds)

Delay execution for a given number of seconds. The argument may be
a floating point number for subsecond precision.

strftime(...)
strftime(format[, tuple]) -> string

Convert a time tuple to a string according to a format specification.
See the library reference manual for formatting codes. When the time tuple
is not present, current time as returned by localtime() is used.

Commonly used format codes:

%Y Year with century as a decimal number.
%m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
%d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
%M Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
%S Second as a decimal number [00,61].
%z Time zone offset from UTC.
%a Locale's abbreviated weekday name.
%A Locale's full weekday name.
%b Locale's abbreviated month name.
%B Locale's full month name.
%c Locale's appropriate date and time representation.
%I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
%p Locale's equivalent of either AM or PM.

Other codes may be available on your platform. See documentation for
the C library strftime function.

strptime(...)
strptime(string, format) -> struct_time

Parse a string to a time tuple according to a format specification.
See the library reference manual for formatting codes (same as
strftime()).

Commonly used format codes:

%Y Year with century as a decimal number.
%m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
%d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].

%I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
%p Locale's equivalent of either AM or PM.

Other codes may be available on your platform. See documentation for
the C library strftime function.

thread_time(...)
thread_time() -> float

Thread time for profiling: sum of the kernel and user-space CPU time.

thread_time_ns(...)
thread_time() -> int

Thread time for profiling as nanoseconds:
sum of the kernel and user-space CPU time.

time(...)
time() -> floating point number

Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch.
Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.

gmtime(...)
gmtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year, tm_mon, tm_mday, tm_hour, tm_min,
tm_sec, tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_isdst)

Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing UTC (a.k.a.
GMT). When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.

If the platform supports the tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, they are available as
attributes only.

不过这时肯定有人该问了，那我们的当地时间怎么表示呢，所以我们来介绍下一个

4.time.localtime()结构化时间，当前时间

1 2	`1` `print(help(time.localtime))` `# 打印帮助信息` `2` `print(time.localtime())` `# 当前结构化时间`

localtime(...)
localtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year,tm_mon,tm_mday,tm_hour,tm_min,
tm_sec,tm_wday,tm_yday,tm_isdst)

Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing local time.
When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.

None
time.struct_time(tm_year=2021, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=16, tm_hour=0, tm_min=17, tm_sec=49, tm_wday=5, tm_yday=16, tm_isdst=0)

总说结构化时间，那结构化时间是什么呢，我们来看看里面的参数

我们来拿上面这个例子来解释：

tm_year=2021     当前所在年
tm_mon=1         当前所在月
tm_mday=15       当前所在天
tm_hour=23       当前所在时
tm_min=18        当前所在分
tm_sec=57        当前所在秒
tm_wday=4        当前周的第几天
tm_yday=15       当前年的第几天

但是有时候我们需要的并不是结构化时间，而是类似于 2021-01-15 23:28:26 这样的格式化时间，那我们应该怎么做呢？

6. time.strftime() 将结构话时间化为格式化时间

1

3 1 print(help(time.strftime)) # 打印帮助信息
2 struct_time=time.localtime()
3 print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",struct_time)) # 格式化时间

31 Help on built-in function strftime in module time:

strftime(...)
strftime(format[, tuple]) -> string

Convert a time tuple to a string according to a format specification.
See the library reference manual for formatting codes. When the time tuple
is not present, current time as returned by localtime() is used.

Commonly used format codes:

%Y Year with century as a decimal number.
%m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
%d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
%M Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
%S Second as a decimal number [00,61].
%z Time zone offset from UTC.
%a Locale's abbreviated weekday name.
%A Locale's full weekday name.
%b Locale's abbreviated month name.
%B Locale's full month name.
%c Locale's appropriate date and time representation.
%I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
%p Locale's equivalent of either AM or PM.

Other codes may be available on your platform. See documentation for
the C library strftime function.

None
2021-01-16 00:18:38

同样这里为什么要写成 "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" 呢，就是为了控制时间的格式。

那这些都表示什么呢，我们来看看

%Y Year with century as a decimal number.
    %m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
    %d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
    %H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
    %M Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
    %S Second as a decimal number [00,61].
    %z Time zone offset from UTC.
    %a Locale's abbreviated weekday name.
    %A Locale's full weekday name.
    %b Locale's abbreviated month name.
    %B Locale's full month name.
    %c Locale's appropriate date and time representation.
    %I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
    %p Locale's equivalent of either AM or PM.

不过似乎也可以单独使用 time.strftime（），我们来看看结果，但是我们必须要把格式加上，如下所示：

1 2	`print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))` `# 格式化时间` `# 2021-01-15 23:36:49`

那么，有时候我们也需要把格式化时间转化为结构化时间来使用，这时我们仅仅需要看看接下来的知识就能掌握

7. time.strptime() 将格式化时间(字符串)转化为结构化时间

1
2
3 print(help(time.strftime))
print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")) # 格式化时间
# 2021-01-15 23:36:49

当然以上只是一个举例，具体我们可以采用如下方式：

1
2
3 a=time.strptime("2021-01-15 22:26:28","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print(a.tm_yday) # 15
print(a.tm_wday) # 4

最后，我们快接近了尾声，最后我们再介绍两个就结束了

8. time.ctime() 将所给时间戳转变为一个格式化时间

1
2
3 1 print(help(time.ctime)) # 将时间戳转变为一个格式化时间
2 print(time.ctime()) # 如果不带参数则默认为当前时间戳
3 print(time.ctime(12412415))
