Copy link 

     >>> import time
     >>> time.localtime()

Returns the following error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 RuntimeError: RTC is not supported on this board

per @tannewt:

The BCM chips don't have an RTC officially. We could probably fake it with the system timer though. I think it has microsecond resolution.
