from_gps#

gwpy.time.from_gps(gps: SupportsFloat) → datetime[source]#

Convert a GPS time into a datetime.datetime.

Warning

This method cannot convert exact leap seconds to datetime.datetime, that object doesn’t support it, so you should consider using astropy.time.Time directly.

Parameters:

gpsLIGOTimeGPS, int, float: GPS time to convert.

Returns:

datetimedatetime.datetime: UTC-aware datetime representation of the input GPS time.

Notes

All datetime objects returned by this function are ‘aware’ in the UTC timezone. For more details on timezone handling in datetime objects, see Aware and naive objects.
