Convert UTC timezone to IST python

Question

The following code line gives me the UTC timing on the production server.

timestamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')

Please suggest a way to convert above UTC timezone to IST(Indian Standard Time) timing.

Answer 1

from datetime import datetime    
import pytz    
tz_NY = pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')   
datetime_NY = datetime.now(tz_NY)  
print("India time:", datetime_NY.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f"))       
>>India time: 2021-05-03 12:25:21.877976
