Python Time gmtime() Method

Description

The gmtime() method converts the number of seconds since the epoch to a struct_time structure in the UTC time zone, where the dst flag is always zero. If the secs argument is not provided or is None, the current time as returned by time() is used.

Syntax

The syntax of the gmtime() method is as follows:

time.gmtime([ sec ])

Parameters

• sec – This is the number of seconds to be converted to the struct_time representation.

Return Value

This method does not return any value.

Example

The following example shows the usage of the gmtime() method.

import time
print ("gmtime :", time.gmtime(1681928297.5316436))

When we run the above program, it produces the following output.

gmtime : time.struct_time(tm_year=2023, tm_mon=4, tm_mday=19, tm_hour=18, tm_min=18, tm_sec=17, tm_wday=2, tm_yday=109, tm_isdst=0)
