_{Official ZPE/YASS documentation}get_time

get_time ([string time_format]) ⇒ object

Gets the current system time and returns it in the format Tue Aug 02 22:00:00 BST 2016. This function replaces the constant value #time which was removed in version 1.3.7. Version 1.4.3.40 renames the function from time to get_time and adds the optional time_format parameter which allows a date to be formatted.

Notes

This function originally returned a date/time instance, but as of the major overhaul to an object oriented paradigm within YASS and ZPE that occured across version 1.6.x, this function now returns a date object.
