Local time?

[kseistrup]

Kuroko's time module seems to have two methods only — sleep() and time(). Is there a way to get the local time from within kuroko?

I was not comfortable adding additional functionality to the time module while it was still part of the core. Now that it has been broken out into a shared object module, it can be extended.

There are a lot of functions to implement to match Python. The following were all there prior to 3.3, and are mostly just wrappers around the platform C library, so they have priority:

• asctime
• ctime
• gmtime
• localtime
• mktime
• strftime
• strptime
• tzset

Python 3.3 and 3.7 each added other functions for providing access to monotonic clocks, process times, and so on.

Sounds good. Personally, I would be fine with even a subset of the list above. I rarely use the monotonic clocks et cetera, so I could easily do without those, even in the long run. But the localtime thing is a sore lack for me.
