How do I get the current time in milliseconds in Python?
You can use the time
module in Python to get the current time in milliseconds. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates how to do this:
import time
current_time_millis = int(round(time.time() * 1000))
print(current_time_millis)

The time.time()
function returns the current time in seconds since the epoch (January 1, 1970). By multiplying the result by 1000, we convert the time to milliseconds. The int(round(...))
function is used to round the time to the nearest integer and convert it to an integer.
