The following Python program we use the FixedTimezone.convert() method to convert a DateTime instance from Melbourne timezone to UTC timezone.
import pendulum
melbourne_timezone = pendulum.timezone('Australia/Melbourne')
melbourne_datetime = pendulum.datetime(2021, 11, 20, 10, 20, 30, tz=melbourne_timezone)
utc_timezone = pendulum.timezone('UTC')
# Convert Melbourne Datetime to UTC DateTime
utc_datetime = utc_timezone.convert(melbourne_datetime)
print('Melbournce date time: ' + melbourne_datetime.to_datetime_string())
print('UTC date time: ' + utc_datetime.to_datetime_string())Melbournce date time: 2021-11-20 10:20:30
UTC date time: 2021-11-19 23:20:30Convert from UTC to another timezone using convert() method
The following Python program we use the FixedTimezone.convert() method to convert a DateTime instance from UTC timezone to Tokyo timezone.
import pendulum
# Current date time in UTC
utc_now = pendulum.now(tz='UTC')
tokyo_timezone = pendulum.timezone('Asia/Tokyo')
# Convert UTC DateTime to Tokyo DateTime
tokyo_now = tokyo_timezone.convert(utc_now)
print('Tokyo date time now: ' + tokyo_now.to_datetime_string())
print('UTC date time now: ' + utc_now.to_datetime_string())Tokyo date time now: 2021-12-11 23:37:45
UTC date time now: 2021-12-11 14:37:45Convert DateTime to another timezone using in_timezone() method
The following Python program we use Datetime.in_timezone() method to convert a DateTime instance from Sydney timezone to Paris timezone.
import pendulum
sydney_datetime = pendulum.datetime(2021, 11, 25, 9, 30, 0, tz = 'Australia/Sydney')
paris_datetime = sydney_datetime.in_timezone('Europe/Paris')
print('Sydney date time: ' + sydney_datetime.to_datetime_string())
print('Paris date time: ' + paris_datetime.to_datetime_string())Sydney date time: 2021-11-25 09:30:00
Paris date time: 2021-11-24 23:30:00Happy Coding 😊
