convert gmt to australian eastern daylight time in python

To convert from GMT to Australian Eastern Daylight Time in Python, we can use the pytz library which provides timezone definitions and conversion capabilities. Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
import pytz
from datetime import datetime

# define the timezone objects
gmt = pytz.timezone('GMT')
aedt = pytz.timezone('Australia/Sydney')

# create a datetime object in GMT
gmt_time = datetime(2021, 9, 15, 14, 30, tzinfo=gmt)

# convert to AEDT
aedt_time = gmt_time.astimezone(aedt)

# print the result
print(aedt_time)
323 chars
16 lines

In this example, we first define the timezone objects for GMT and AEDT using pytz.timezone(). We then create a datetime object in GMT with datetime() and specifying the timezone using the tzinfo argument.

To convert this datetime object to AEDT, we use the astimezone() method and pass in the AEDT timezone object. The result is a new datetime object in the AEDT timezone.

Finally, we print the result using print(). The output should be the AEDT equivalent datetime object.
