time.localtime()
time.localtime() is a Python function in the Time Module category. Converts a timestamp to a time.struct_time in local time. The syntax is time.localtime(secs=None). Returns: Struct time (local). A typical example: t = time.localtime()
print(t.tm_hour) # Current hour. A close sibling is time.time(), which returns the current Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch). A close sibling is time.sleep(), which suspends execution for the given number of seconds (may be fractional). A close sibling is time.gmtime(), which converts a timestamp to a time.struct_time in UTC. A close sibling is time.strftime(), which formats a time.struct_time as a string according to format.
