I need to find the time difference in seconds with python. I know I can get the difference like this:

from datetime import datetime now = datetime.now() .... .... .... later = datetime.now() difference = later-now 

how do I get difference in total seconds?

Answer 1

import time now = time.time() ... later = time.time() difference = int(later - now)
