| tm_min | Current minute |
| tm_sec | Current seconds |
| tm_wday | Week day |
| tm_yday | Year day |
| tm_isdst | -1,0 or 1 |
Python Time Module Methods:
| FUNCTION | USES |
| time() | To get floating point value in seconds since epoch. |
| asctime() | To get a 24 character string, taking the tuple returned by localtime() as parameter. |
| sleep() | To stop the code execution for the given interval of time. |
| strptime() | To get a tuple with all 9 time attributes. |
| gtime() | To get struct_time which contains 9 time attributes. |
| mktime() | To get seconds in floating point since epoch. |
| strftime() | To get time in a specified format. |
Python Calendar Module:
Python Calendar module contains various built in functions and statements to deal with all type of calendar related operations in the python code.
| FUNCTION | USES |
| prcal() | To print whole calendar of the year. |
| firstweekday() | To get the first week day. |
| isleap() | To get a True value in case given year is leap else false. |
| monthcalendar() | To get the given month with each week in a single list. |
