Python in a Nutshell

Name

localtime

Synopsis

localtime([secs])

Accepts an instant expressed in seconds since the epoch and returns a nine-item tuple t with the local time (DST, the last item of t, is set to 0 or 1, depending on whether DST applies to instant secs according to local rules). localtime( ) without arguments is like localtime(time( )) (i.e., it returns the nine-item time-tuple for the current time instant).
