I'm following this Tutorial and want to print the current time in my python script. I can not reproduce what is thought in the toturial. The current time is not printed.
Here is my current code for the Python script:
def printTime(): print("The time is"+time+"right now"); printTime(); I want to achieve is
Just use datetime.now() method of datetime module:-
import datetime time=datetime.datetime.now() def printTime(): print("The time is",time,"right now"); printTime() You can use datetime.now() from datetime module to get the current date and time like this,
import datetime current_date_time = datetime.datetime.now() Plugging in this to your function,
import datetime def printTime(): current_date_time = datetime.datetime.now() print(f"The time is {current_date_time} right now") printTime() If you are not interested in the date part and only want the time part, you can extract time component from the datetime object like this
import datetime def printTime(): current_time = datetime.datetime.now().time() # get only time component print(f"The time is {current_time} right now") printTime() 
"The time is" + current_date_time is going to work.
You can use datetime to get current time.
import datetime datetime.datetime.now() #This is how I usually do this
import time; CurrentTime= time.asctime( time.localtime(time.time()) ) print ("Date/Time:", CurrentTime)
