How to get UTC time - SriRajesh - Dec-26-2021
Hi,
I use below code
from datetime import datetime print(datetime.utcnow())my output as below:
2021-12-26 00:25:14.083291
but I want like this: 2021-12-26T00:25:14.083291+0800
can any one suggest how to achieve this.

I would suggest using Pendulum.
Then default is UTC and deal much better with time zones than datetime,
which need a combination with tzinfo, pytz when dealing with time zones.
>>> import pendulum
>>>
>>> now = pendulum.now()
>>> now
DateTime(2021, 12, 26, 1, 33, 9, 533323, tzinfo=Timezone('Europe/Berlin'))
>>> print(now)
2021-12-26T01:33:09.533323+01:00

RE: How to get UTC time - ndc85430 - Dec-26-2021
Why are you trying to import
DateTime from the standard library datetime module, when it's clearly a type from pendulum as snippsat's code shows?
RE: How to get UTC time - snippsat - Dec-26-2021
As mention there is no need to import datetime,and in my code i do not do that.
Doc Wrote:Pendulum is a Python package to ease datetimes manipulation.
It provides classes that aredrop-in replacements for the native ones(they inherit from them).
Special care has been taken to ensure timezones are handled correctly, and are based on the underlying tzinfo implementation.
For example,all comparisons are done in UTCor in the timezone of the datetime being used.
