What is python3 equivalent of Date.now() of javascript?

Question

In JavaScript, I can assign:

var now = Date.now();

Then use now to calculate as a number variable

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now()
>>> datetime.datetime.today()

In python3, Using upper code doesnt seem helpful. Any idea what is equivalent of Date.now().

Answer 1

You should use time module.

>>> import time
>>> int(time.time() * 1000) #for getting the millisecs
