The gmtime method of the time module

The gmtime method of the time module converts seconds since the epoch to the struct_time format. The time is specified in UTC. In the optional parameter of the method, we specify the time in seconds since the epoch. If the parameter is not specified, then the current time is taken.

Syntax

import time

time.gmtime([time in seconds since the beginning of the epoch])

Example

Let's convert seconds to struct_time format:

import time

res = time.gmtime(3432785452)
print(res)

The result of the executed code:

time.struct_time(
	tm_year=2078,
	tm_mon=10,
	tm_mday=12,
	tm_hour=7,
	tm_min=30,
	tm_sec=52,
	tm_wday=2,
	tm_yday=285,
	tm_isdst=0
)

Example

Now let's separately derive the year, month and day from the object obtained in the previous example:

import time

res = time.gmtime(3453253465)
print(res.tm_year)
print(res.tm_mon)
print(res.tm_mday)

The result of the executed code:

2023
7
31

Example

Let's get the current time in the format struct_time:

import time

res = time.gmtime()
print(res)
