Get seconds since midnight in Python [closed]

Question

I want to get the seconds that expired since last midnight. What's the most elegant way in Python?

Answer 1

It is better to make a single call to a function that returns the current date/time:

from datetime import datetime  now = datetime.now() seconds_since_midnight = (now - now.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)).total_seconds() 

Or does

datetime.now() - datetime.now() 

return zero timedelta for anyone here?
