#98404 — time module

hi,

I like to have a function that prints time in seconds.
I am looking for something for example that seconds count from zero.
I search the internet for time module in python but could not found anathing usefull.

Has someone an example for it.

Thanks

	Ambiguous requirement: any normal counter starts from zero... But what
"zero" represents may differ... Seconds since Jan 1 1970? Seconds since
midnight? Seconds since start of program?

>>> import time
>>> t0 = time.time()
>>> t0
1446941608.052
>>> t0 / 60.0
24115693.467533335
>>> t0 / 60.0 / 60.0
401928.22445888893
>>> t0 / 60.0 / 60.0 / 24.0
16747.009352453704
>>> t0 / 60.0 / 60.0 / 24.0 / 365.25
45.850812737724034
>>> 

	Almost 46 years worth of seconds.

>>> tStart = time.time()
>>> for x in range(10):
... 	time.sleep(x)
... 	print time.time() - tStart
... 	
36.5020000935
37.5040001869
39.5090000629
42.5099999905
46.5170001984
51.5190000534
57.5200002193
64.5210001469
72.5230000019
81.5230000019
>>> 

Okay, I'm not the fastest typist (35 seconds from tStart to finishing the
loop code)

Thanks for the reply

Yes, I would like seconds since start of program.
Can I not doing something like time()=0 only this gives an error.

Thanks

Here:

    class MyReckoning:
        def __init__(self):
            self.the_beginning = time.time()

        def time(self):
            return time.time() - self.the_beginning

    reckoning = MyReckoning()
    print(reckoning.time())
