I'm new to Python and I cannot for the life of me find my specific answer online. I need to format a timestamp to this exact format to include 'T', 'Z' and no sub or miliseconds like this yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ i.e. 2019-03-06T11:22:00Z. There's lots of stuff on parsing this format but nothing about formatting this way. The only way I have nearly got it to work involves sub-seconds which I do not need. I've tried using arrow and reading their documentation but unable to get anything to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Convert Timestamp to Datetime (format) This looks something like the below value with the T and Z alphabets. 2014-09-12T19:34:29Z. Here the alphabet T stands for Time and Z stands for the Zero timezone which represents the offset from the coordinated universal time(UTC).
To convert string to datetime in Python, use the strptime() method. The strptime() is a built-in function of the Python datetime class used to convert a string representation of the date/time to a date object.
The Z stands for the Zero timezone, as it is offset by 0 from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Both characters are just static letters in the format, which is why they are not documented by the datetime.
Try datetime library
import datetime
output_date = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
print(output_date)
