Python相当于Perl $ ^ BASETIME

Question

I have a python module whose responsibility is to interpolate timestamp. I have a use case where I want to get process start time whenever a function in this module is called.

In Perl equivalent of this module, I used $^BASETIME, $^T to get the process start time. Is there a similar way in python also?

I referred to this question ( How to retrieve the process start time (or uptime) in python ). Is there any other way except using ps?

import time

def get_process_start_time():
    return time.time()

Answer 1

Upon more deeper investigation, I found that I can use 'create_time' method of Process to get start time of process anywhere in the code.

import os
import psutil

psutil.Process(os.getpid()).create_time()
