Python time Module Cheat Sheet

1. Importing

import time

2. Time Representations

# Epoch Time (Unix timestamp)


[Link]() # float: current time in seconds since epoch

# Structured Time (time.struct_time)


[Link]() # Local time as struct_time
[Link]() # UTC time as struct_time

3. Formatting & Parsing

# Convert struct_time to string


[Link]("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", [Link]())

# Convert string to struct_time


[Link]("2025-05-05", "%Y-%m-%d")

4. Sleep / Delay

[Link](5) # Pause for 5 seconds

5. Conversions

# struct_time to timestamp
[Link]([Link]())

# Timestamp to struct_time
[Link](1680000000)

6. Time Constants

[Link] # Offset of local (non-DST) timezone, in seconds west of UTC


[Link] # Offset during DST
[Link] # 1 if DST is defined, 0 otherwise

7. High-Resolution Timer

start = time.perf_counter()
# some code
end = time.perf_counter()
print(f"Elapsed: {end - start} seconds")
