How to current Date and time (Local, UTC timezone) python with example

This post shows you multiple ways to get the Current Date and Time in Python

How to get the Current Date and time in the Local, UTC timezone Python

First, import the DateTime module into the code base.

The DateTime class has a now() method that returns the Date and Time in the Local timezone.

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now)

if you want to get datetime in UTC timezone, you can call the utcnow() method

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
print(now)

Both above codes returns

2022-10-30 01:55:44.204299

Similarly, You can get UTC OR GMT timezone using the below code

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)
print(now)

You can use pytz to get different timezone time.

How to get the Current Date and Time only in python

datetime.now() returns datetime object. datetime.date() returns only Date object without time datetime.time() returns only Time object

import datetime
datetime = datetime.datetime.now()

dateOnly = datetime.date()  
time = datetime.time()  

print (dateOnly) #2022-10-30
print (time) # 02:02:11.758164

How to get Specific timezone current Date and time in python

Here is an example to get the Current Date Timezone in UTC and India timezone

import datetime
import pytz
now = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc);
# UTC timezone
print(now) 
indiaTimezone = pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')
indiaDateTime =datetime.datetime.now(indiaTimezone)

# INDIA datetime
print(indiaDateTime)

You can get a List of all available timezones as given below

print(pytz.all_timezones)
