Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be getting the current time of timezone in python using the pytz module. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the following library using the pip command as shown below

pip install pytz

After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

tz_NY = pytz.timezone('America/New_York') 
datetime_NY = datetime.now(tz_NY)
print("NY time:", datetime_NY.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))

tz_London = pytz.timezone('Europe/London')
datetime_London = datetime.now(tz_London)
print("London time:", datetime_London.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))

Now if you execute the above python script by typing the below command as shown below

python app.py

Now you can see that we have retrieved the current time of new york and london timezone
