Difference between Python datetime vs time modules

Answer


Answer




I am trying to figure out the differences between the datetime and time modules, and what each should be used for.



I know that datetime provides both dates and time. What is the use of the time module?



Examples would be appreciated and differences concerning timezones would especially be of interest.


Answer



the time module is principally for working with unix time stamps; expressed as a floating point number taken to be seconds since the unix epoch. the datetime module can support many of the same operations, but provides a more object oriented set of types, and also has some limited support for time zones.
