- fontTools.misc.timeTools.asctime(t=None)[source]
Convert a tuple or struct_time representing a time as returned by gmtime() or localtime() to a 24-character string of the following form:
>>> asctime(time.gmtime(0)) 'Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970'
If t is not provided, the current time as returned by localtime() is used. Locale information is not used by asctime().
This is meant to normalise the output of the built-in time.asctime() across different platforms and Python versions. In Python 3.x, the day of the month is right-justified, whereas on Windows Python 2.7 it is padded with zeros.
