>>> current_local_time= time.localtime()

>>> current_local_time.tm_zone

'E. Africa Standard Time'

The localtime () returns the East Africa Standard Time Zone. The tm_zone determines the local time zone of your system.

Example 2:

>>> import time

>>> current_local_time= time.localtime()

>>> current_local_time.tm_gmtoff

10800

>>> current_local_time.tm_isdst

0

The current local time is 10800 seconds behind the GMT. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time zone without UTC offset (UTC± 00:00).

You can convert the 10800seconds to GMT by dividing with seconds per hour (3600). Thus the local time GMT +03:00 which corresponds to UTC +03:00.

If you ignore the secs argument when calling the localtime() , it will return the current local time in struct_time.

Converting Local Time Object to Seconds

To convert the local time object to seconds, mktime() is used. Mktime() accepts parameter t which is in the form of a normal tuple with nine elements or a struct_time object.

>>> import time
