How to get current time in india in python

Question

How would I get the current timestamp in python of India?

I tried time.ctime() and datetime.utcnow() also datetime.now() but they all return a different time than here it is in india.

The codes above return the time that not match the current time on my computer. and the time in my computer is definitely correct.

Answer 1

from pytz import timezone 
from datetime import datetime

ind_time = datetime.now(timezone("Asia/Kolkata")).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
print(ind_time)
>>> "2020-08-28 11:56:37.010822"

Answer 2

You can do it with pytz:

import datetime,pytz

dtobj1=datetime.datetime.utcnow()   #utcnow class method
print(dtobj1)

dtobj3=dtobj1.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC) #replace method


#print(pytz.all_timezones) => To see all timezones
dtobj_india=dtobj3.astimezone(pytz.timezone("Asia/Calcutta")) #astimezone method
print(dtobj_india)

result:

2020-08-28 06:01:13.833290
2020-08-28 11:31:13.833290+05:30
