PyTime Object

A Python object, representing an instant in time.

Comments

A PyTime object is used primarily when exchanging date/time information with COM objects or other win32 functions.
Using int(timeObject) will return an integer compatible with the standard Python time module.

Example

First import the time module

import time
To return a simple string

time.ctime(int(timeObject))
To return a string formatted as the long date in control panel

time.strftime("%#c",

 time.localtime(int(timeObject)))
