The description in the docs is a bit misleading. time.time() returns the local time in number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:0O UTC). UTC refers to the epoch, not the timezone used by time.time(). ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12758> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
