time.perf_counter() Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a performance counter, i.e. a clock with the highest available resolution to measure a short duration. It does include time elapsed during sleep and is system-wide. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of consecutive calls is valid. New in version 3.3.

time.monotonic() Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a monotonic clock, i.e. a clock that cannot go backwards. The clock is not affected by system clock updates. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of consecutive calls is valid. On Windows versions older than Vista, monotonic() detects GetTickCount() integer overflow (32 bits, roll-over after 49.7 days). It increases an internal epoch (reference time) by 232 each tim

time.mktime(t) This is the inverse function of localtime(). Its argument is the struct_time or full 9-tuple (since the dst flag is needed; use -1 as the dst flag if it is unknown) which expresses the time in local time, not UTC. It returns a floating point number, for compatibility with time(). If the input value cannot be represented as a valid time, either OverflowError or ValueError will be raised (which depends on whether the invalid value is caught by Python or the underlying C librarie

time.localtime([secs]) Like gmtime() but converts to local time. If secs is not provided or None, the current time as returned by time() is used. The dst flag is set to 1 when DST applies to the given time.

time.gmtime([secs]) Convert a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to a struct_time in UTC in which the dst flag is always zero. If secs is not provided or None, the current time as returned by time() is used. Fractions of a second are ignored. See above for a description of the struct_time object. See calendar.timegm() for the inverse of this function.

time.get_clock_info(name) Get information on the specified clock as a namespace object. Supported clock names and the corresponding functions to read their value are: 'clock': time.clock() 'monotonic': time.monotonic() 'perf_counter': time.perf_counter() 'process_time': time.process_time() 'time': time.time() The result has the following attributes: adjustable: True if the clock can be changed automatically (e.g. by a NTP daemon) or manually by the system administrator, False ot

time.daylight Nonzero if a DST timezone is defined.

time.ctime([secs]) Convert a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to a string representing local time. If secs is not provided or None, the current time as returned by time() is used. ctime(secs) is equivalent to asctime(localtime(secs)). Locale information is not used by ctime().

time.clock_settime(clk_id, time) Set the time of the specified clock clk_id. Availability: Unix. New in version 3.3.

time.clock_gettime(clk_id) Return the time of the specified clock clk_id. Availability: Unix. New in version 3.3.
