[Tutor] python time

[Modulok]

Doesn't time.time return a float?

>>> import time
>>> help(time.time)
Help on built-in function time in module time:

time(...)
    time() -> floating point number

    Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch.
    Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.


>>> time.time()
1259288538.576565

Right?
