Chapter 32. Dates and Times: the time and
datetime Modules
Additional time Module Features
Here are some additional functions in the
time module.
time.sleep
(seconds, tuple)
Delay execution for a given number of seconds. The argument
may be a floating point number for subsecond precision.
time.accept2dyear
If non-zero, 2-digit years are accepted. 69-99 is treated as
1969 to 1999, 0 to 68 is treated as 2000 to 2068. This is 1 by
default, unless the PYTHONY2K environment variable
is set; then this variable will be zero.
time.altzone
Difference in seconds between UTC and local Daylight Savings
time. Often a multiple of 3600 (all US time zones are in whole
hours). For example, Eastern Daylight Time is 14400 (4
hours).
time.daylight
Non-zero if the locale uses daylight savings time. Zero if
it does not.
time.timezone
Difference in seconds between UTC and local Standard time.
Often a multiple of 3600 (all US timezones are in whole
hours).
time.tzname
