Certainly - it's in time module, since time and date are kind of related.
It'd probably be useful to have a date module too that would be another
name for time.. There's also MxDateTime that should have more goods for
date manipulations.

Here's an example of usage of time module:

>>> import time
>>> time.localtime()
(2001, 9, 4, 17, 29, 48, 1, 247, 1)
>>> time.ctime(time.time())
'Tue Sep  4 17:30:03 2001'

Plain time.ctime() does the same in later versions but not in 1.5 iirc.
