You can use the datetime module to get the current time and the os module to clear the console for a live update.

Code Example:

Copy Code 


import datetime
import time
import os

def digital_clock():
    while True:
        now = datetime.datetime.now()
        print(now.strftime("%H:%M:%S"), end='\r')
        time.sleep(1)
        os.system('clear')

digital_clock()

This function displays the current time in hours:minutes:seconds format and updates every second.
