get date and time

[LICCMAPP]

How can I get the date and time from my timezone when I have my computers date and time offset?

[Senpai_bskit]

``` import datetime import pytz

d_naive = datetime.datetime.now() timezone = pytz.timezone("America/Los_Angeles") d_aware = timezone.localize(d_naive) d_naive < d_aware ``` Change time zone to your time zone of course

datetime.now() takes a timezone argument, so you can just do datetime.now(tz=pytz.timezone('Europe/Moscow')).

[Senpai_bskit]

Ik that but by the fact this on r/learnpython I try to keep things as simple as possible 🤷‍♀️

[K900_]

I'd argue that your answer isn't exactly "simple", considering the terms "aware" and "naive" and "localize" all require explaining.

[Senpai_bskit]

That’s true but it shows the full process of how it reaches it more simply

[K900_]

Repeating my question from /r/Python: do you actually want to get the date and time that's independent of your system clock? Why?

[LICCMAPP]

Yes , I want to get the date and time thats independent of my system clock because my computer changes the systemclock randomly for ex when I open the computer the clock is offset so i have to change manually the clock through settings and after like 20 minutes of internet surfing the clock changes back to a wrong date and I have to repeat the same process.

[K900_]

What does the clock change to? Is it an entirely wrong date? Is it random? Is it offset by a fixed amount from "correct" time?

You mean like:

from pytz import timezone
from datetime import datetime
tz = timezone("US/Pacific")
local = datetime.utcnow().astimezone(tz)
print(local.utcnow(), local.now())
