So, I want to convert UTC date time 2021-08-05 10:03:24.585Z to Indian date time how to convert it?
What I tried is
from datetime import datetime from pytz import timezone st = "2021-08-05 10:03:24.585Z" datetime_object = datetime.strptime(st, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%fZ') local_tz = timezone('Asia/Kolkata') start_date = local_tz.localize(datetime_object) print(start_date.replace(tzinfo=local_tz)) But Still the output is not with the timezone I have mentioned how can I convert the time and print the time from the time.
Output:
2021-08-05 10:03:24.585000+05:21 3 Answers
parse the date/time string to UTC datetime correctly and use astimezone instead of replace to convert to a certain time zone (option for newer Python version (3.9+) in comments):
from datetime import datetime # from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo from dateutil.tz import gettz st = "2021-08-05 10:03:24.585Z" zone = "Asia/Kolkata" # dtUTC = datetime.fromisoformat(st.replace('Z', '+00:00')) dtUTC = datetime.strptime(st, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f%z') # dtZone = dtUTC.astimezone(ZoneInfo(zone)) dtZone = dtUTC.astimezone(gettz(zone)) print(dtZone.isoformat(timespec='seconds')) # 2021-08-05T15:33:24+05:30 If you just need local time, i.e. your machine's setting, you can use astimezone(None) as well.
You can use sth like this:
from datetime import datetime from dateutil import tz from_zone = tz.gettz('UTC') to_zone = tz.gettz('Asia/Kolkata') utc = datetime.strptime('2011-01-21 02:37:21', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') utc = utc.replace(tzinfo=from_zone) central = utc.astimezone(to_zone) For Python 3.7+
from datetime import datetime st = "2021-08-05 10:03:24.585Z" dtUTC = datetime.fromisoformat(st[:-1]) dtZone = dtUTC.astimezone() print(dtZone.isoformat(timespec='seconds')) # 2021-08-05T15:33:24+05:30
