You mean a method in a module? Yes, there's good 'ol time module, which will
probably provide what you need:

>>> import time
>>> time.time()      # number of seconds (+ fract) elapsed after 01.01.1970
1115881981.3717401
>>> time.ctime()     # current time in string format
'Thu May 12 10:13:20 2005'
>>> time.localtime() # current time as a tuple
(2005, 5, 12, 10, 13, 30, 3, 132, 1)

For details, see 'pydoc time'
