Fastest way to get system uptime in Python in Linux

Question

I\'m looking for a fast and lightweight way to read system uptime from a Python script. Is there a way to call the sysinfo Linux system call from Python?

Answer 1

This frankly seems like a much better solution:

def get_uptime():
    with open('/proc/uptime', 'r') as f:
        uptime_seconds = float(f.readline().split()[0])

    return uptime_seconds

It also has the added benefit of not requiring any additional modules.
