How do I get New York City time?

python

Solution

Instead of `datetime`, write `datetime.datetime`:

import datetime
import pytz

utc = pytz.utc
utc_dt = datetime.datetime(2002, 10, 27, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=utc)
eastern = pytz.timezone('US/Eastern')
loc_dt = utc_dt.astimezone(eastern)
fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z'
loc_dt.strftime(fmt)

That's because the module datetime contains a class `datetime.datetime`.

Problem

I travel frequently but live in NYC and am trying to display NYC time no matter where I am. How do I do that in Python? I have the following, which doesn't work, giving me the error: ``` `'module' object is not callable` ``` Also, I'm not sure if my method below will correctly update with daylight savings time or not: ``` import pytz utc = pytz.utc utc_dt = datetime(2002, 10, 27, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=utc) eastern = pytz.timezone('US/Eastern') loc_dt = utc_dt.astimezone(eastern) fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z' loc_dt.strftime(fmt) ```
