What is the module/method used to get the current time? Use: >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 6, 15, 8, 24, 78915) >>> print(datetime.datetime.now()) 2009-01-06 15:08:24.789150 And just the time: >>> datetime.datetime.now().time() datetime.time(15, 8, 24, 78915) >>> print(datetime.datetime.now().time()) 15:08:24.789150 See the documentation for more info..
