How to get current datetime as numpy datetime (np.datetime64)
The simplest way of getting the current time as np.datetime64
object is to combine datetime.datetime.now()
and the np.datetime64()
constructor:
from datetime import datetime
import numpy as np
dt_now = np.datetime64(datetime.now())
print(dt_now)
Or use this function for convenience:
from datetime import datetime
import numpy as np
def datetime64_now():
return np.datetime64(datetime.now())
dt_now = datetime64_now()
print(dt_now)
datetime64_now()
is also available on my library UliEngineering.
Install using sudo pip3 install -U UliEngineering
, then use like this:
from UliEngineering.Utils.NumPy import datetime64_now
dt_now = datetime64_now()
print(dt_now)
