These numbers are not there to confuse you, they are there to help. Using these numbers, which are called UTC Offset numbers, you can convert any time to your local time. You can essentially figure out what time it is in your time zone, just by using these handy offsets. You can do the military time conversion before your calculation and simply skip the conversion into hr format. Find the difference in your time zone and the converting time zone.
When adding or subtracting negative numbers always pay attention to the real values. Remember that adding a negative is really subtracting that value from it. Because you are taking away a negative. Removing a negative is really adding that value. Asked 13 years, 4 months ago. Active 3 months ago. Viewed k times. How do I convert a datetime string in local time to a string in UTC time?

Use the local. This answer has been very helpful to me, but I'd like to point out a pitfall I encountered. If you provide the time but not the date, you may get unexpected results. So be sure you provide a full timestamp. Show 6 more comments. Always measure and store time in UTC. That only converts the current time, I need to take any given time as a string and convert to UTC.
I don't think it should matter here, if your using standard offset values. There is a sporadic delta between calls to utcnow and now. That's a dangerous code line that could lead to strange errors later like tzinfo. Show 4 more comments. Thanks rofly, the full conversion from string to string is as follows: time.

Here's a summary of common Python time conversions. You could use tzlocal. To avoid the exception, use stz.
This is intentional and by design. Select a blank cell and enter the current GMT time into it, here take A2 for instances. How about the dates from responses? Is there any way to convert them to local time zone? Message 3 of 7 9, Views 0 Kudos. Brian lives in Australia and needs to convert a UTC time into his local time.
Problem is, he doesn't know how to go about doing it. Yes, I know it looks like the abbreviation letters are out of order. They are; this is why it isn't an acronym. The abbreviation is—believe it or not—based on a political compromise. UTC is equivalent to International Atomic Time with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation. Because of this, all you need to do to convert from UTC to a local time is to figure out how many hours your time varies from GMT.
