Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: time.time() is not quite UTC on Unix: it usually (*) doesn't include leap seconds, which UTC does.
The Wikipedia page has a good definition and explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time (*) "usually" because POSIX defines time() to not include leap seconds, but on some older or not quite POSIX compliant Unix systems, leap seconds are included. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29026> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
