convert gmt to australian western daylight time in python

To convert GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) to Australian Western Daylight Time (AWDT), we need to use the datetime module in Python. This module provides various classes and methods to work with dates and times. We also need to handle timezones for both GMT and AWDT. We can do this by using the timezone module in Python.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to convert GMT to AWDT in Python:

main.py
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timezone

# define a datetime object with GMT timezone
gmt_time = datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)

# convert GMT to AWDT timezone
awdt_time = gmt_time.astimezone(timezone(timedelta(hours=8)))

# print the converted time
print("GMT time: ", gmt_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'))
print("AWDT time: ", awdt_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'))
414 chars
13 lines

In this code, we first define a datetime object with the GMT timezone. We use the datetime.utcnow() method to get the current UTC time and then set the timezone to UTC using tzinfo=timezone.utc.

Next, we convert this GMT time to the AWDT timezone by using the astimezone() method. We pass a timezone object with a time difference of 8 hours (i.e., the time difference between GMT and AWDT) to the astimezone() method.

Finally, we print the original GMT time and the converted AWDT time using the strftime() method.

Note that this code assumes that your system timezone is not set to AWDT. If it is, you may need to adjust the code accordingly.
